Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture, has said Nigeria’s resolve to remain as one indivisible entity is unshakable in spite of the various challenges facing the nation.
Mohammed made the remarks in Abuja on Monday at the opening of ‘Nigeria at 60 Photo Exhibition’ with the theme ‘60 Years of our Togetherness.’
According to a statement by Segun Adeyemi, Special Assistant to the President (Media), Office of the Minister of Information and Culture, “The theme of the photo exhibition has been carefully couched to reflect on the unity of this great country in the past 60 years, despite its diverse cultures, traditions, practices, languages and challenges.
“Like other countries in the world, it is an incontrovertible fact that Nigeria, over the years, has gone through challenging times, but we must not miss the fact that its resolve to remain as one indivisible entity has remained unshaken,” he said.
Alhaji Mohammed said the ministry was using the opportunity provided by the Independence anniversary to organise a photo exhibition that will deliver information and educate Nigerians, especially the youths, who need a re-awakening voyage into the historical and unique heritage of the country and the secrets behind its unity in diversity.
“This photo exhibition, therefore, is organised to serve as a poignant reminder of significant events in the annals of this great country and how they have shaped the country, ensured peaceful coexistence, patriotism and determination, culminating in our greatness and development.”
