ASABA YOUTHS CELEBRATE NIGERIA @ 60 …HAILS OKOWA’S DEVELOPMENT STRIDES AS NIGERIA CLOCKS 60

Ogbueshi Obodo Okediachi,
President,Asaba Community Youth Association
 Asaba Community Youth Association under the leadership of Ogbueshi Obodo Okediachi today filed out for a road walk to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Nigeria’s independence with high hopes for a better future.

The President of the group, Ogbueshi Obodo Okediachi and the youths marched from Traffic Light roundabout through Nnebisi road to Inter – Bau roundabout and back.

Okediachi, said it was the youths’ own way of celebrating the Giant of Africa, a nation blessed with abundant human and natural resources and a multi ethnic entity that had remained indivisible against all odds, over the past 60 years.

Ogbueshi Okediachi said in spite of the hiccups the country had experienced since it gained independence, there was still hope of a bright future ahead of Nigerians, especially the youths. Ogbueshi Okediachi noted that the period of military interventions significantly set the nation back, saying that the progress made in the country’s 60 years of existence largely came through the democratic dispensation spanning from 1999 till date.

Okediachi paid tribute to past leaders, especially the founding fathers of the nation, for their doggedness and sacrifice which individually and collectively launched Nigeria to greatness, ascribing to the country the title “Giant of Africa”.

He commended the former Governors of the state for their commitment to peace building and unity of the state since inception in 1991, and specially lauded Governor Ifeanyi Okowa for the giant strides of his administration in infrastructural development, youth empowerment and job creation.

A Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Child Right, Bridget Anyafulu, who joined the youths on the road walk, urged Nigerians and Deltans in particular not to be discouraged by the numerous challenges facing the country as the past sixty years had some remarkable things to show.
