 The European Union and the British High Commission in Nigeria have really treated their commitment to supporting Nigeria's democracy as the nation turns 62 after independence. The envoys made the commitment today at Nigeria's 62nd Independence and Universal Celebration in Abuja, Ms. Mela Isopi, ambassador of the European Union to Nigeria, and they echo us, said Nigeria is a work in progress just like any country in the world. Always, you know, a work in progress for every country, and I think Nigeria has really made a huge, huge progress, especially if you think about democracy, if you think about all the progress that has been made since the return to the civilian rule. So I really think that Nigeria is a country with a huge potential, and we really hope that it will continue to develop that potential in the future, and the European Union as a partner will continue to support that project and to support Nigeria. British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Katrina Lying, said Nigeria at 62 years after independence calls for reflection on the bond between the UK and Nigeria. Things that we would like to see Nigeria do better, but there has been progress, and I think one really important area of progress is democracy. Since 1999, we've stuck with it in a region that's very unstable, nobody questions, the president's stepping down, everyone sees that Nigeria's elections have continued to improve. There's always room for improvement, but I think the democratic journey is one great achievement for Nigeria. Other Nigerians called for the need for citizens to be helpful and unite to overcome the numerous challenges facing the country. Mr. Mohamed Jamal, also known as White Nigerian, said there were many things to be hopeful for as Nigeria celebrates 62 years of independence. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
