The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, has reiterated the federal government’s commitment to delivering lasting dividends of democracy to Nigerians.

Mr Oyetola made this statement in an Easter message on Saturday by Bolaji Akinola, his media aide.

According to him, the administration of President Bola Tinubu remains committed to delivering lasting dividends of democracy through bold economic reforms and inclusive governance.

Mr Oyetola reassured citizens of the government’s commitment to development and welfare, urging them to remain steadfast in faith, hopeful for a better tomorrow, and united in the pursuit of collective progress.

He prayed for peace, progress, and divine grace upon Nigerians, healing for those hurting, strength for the weary, and renewed hope for every home.

Mr Oyetola stated that Easter should remind Nigerians that after darkness comes light, and after sacrifices, victory follows.

“Easter is a season of deep spiritual significance, a time for sacrifice, renewal, and reaffirmation of hope in the face of trials.

“It is a time to reflect on the values of love, selflessness, and unshakable faith; values that should guide our individual lives, our communities, and our state as a whole,” Mr Oyetola said.

He commended Nigerians for their resilience and unyielding spirit in the face of challenges.
