“We still have work to do in perfecting our form of governance such that government will always and completely be for, of, by and because of the people,” said Mr Tinubu in a statement released in his name to commemorate Nigeria’s 62nd Independence Day anniversary on Saturday.

“In seeking national improvement, we must join hands in growing the economy, creating jobs, feeding the hungry, educating our youth, caring for the sick and protecting our people and their way of life from evil and misguided foes who seek to destroy all that is good.”
