The Director General of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps (NTAC), Rt. Hon. Yusuf Buba Yakub, has urged Nigerians to remain steadfast in supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which he described as a pathway to national growth and transformation.

In his Independence Day message personally signed and released to the media in Abuja on Wednesday, Buba assured that Nigeria is in capable hands under President Tinubu’s leadership. He called for collective prayers and support for the President and the ruling class to achieve the nation’s development aspirations.

The message, titled “A Brighter Future Beckons”, read in part:

“Happy 65th Independence Anniversary to our great nation, Nigeria! Today, we celebrate our rich heritage, diversity, and resilience. I warmly felicitate His Excellency, the President, on this historic occasion. At NTAC, we commend his administration’s reform efforts, particularly the 4-D Foreign Policy initiative and the Renewed Hope Agenda, both of which are anchored on national rebirth, economic transformation, and collective prosperity.

“This agenda is a beacon of hope for Nigeria’s future. We urge all Nigerians to keep faith in it and join hands in harnessing our collective talents, skills, and resources to drive national progress.

“We also salute the bravery and sacrifices of our Armed Forces, whose dedication to safeguarding Nigeria’s sovereignty and ensuring peace is a testament to the strength and resilience of our nation.

“In addition, we appreciate the diplomatic community, especially those working with NTAC to advance Nigeria’s technical expertise and development diplomacy. Through NTAC, over 10,000 technical experts have been deployed to more than 40 countries, fostering people-to-people ties, strengthening institutions, and enhancing Nigeria’s international standing.

“As we look to the future, let us remain united and committed to nation-building, ensuring a brighter and more prosperous tomorrow for ourselves and generations yet unborn.

“May God bless Nigeria. Happy Independence Day!”
