 Vice President Senator Kashim Shatimer has assured Nigerians that their sacrifices will not be in vain, saying the promises made by the Tinibu administration will be fulfilled. Senator Shatimer made the remarks today during a public lecture titled, actualising the vision of renewed hope for social economic development through effective leadership to commemorate Nigeria's 63rd independent anniversary at the State House, Abuja. Is that President Tinibu's administration is committed to building a country where the economic independence of each citizen is guaranteed and where none of them has to depend on unspecified handouts to earn a living? The President's administration also recognises that the sacrifices made by each Nigerian will never be in vain. Much solidarity with the economic revival strategy from the bolstering streets of Lagos to the Syrian landscape of Ingoo has inspired our focus on diverse sectors, from agriculture to digital technology, from healthcare to education. We need from the starting point of this race to serve the people that the track will not be without its holes and ponds. We knew that challenges will arise and obstacles will test our resolve. But as our history has shown, Nigerians are too ambitious to be broken by a temporary setback. We are going to emerge from this place of our defaults stronger. Each of us would renew hope as we honour the labour of our heroes first. As we reflect on the values and principles that have brought us this far, as we strive to excel in all that we do, and as we work together towards a future where opportunity knows no bounds, let's remember that our most potent weapon is the overriding resolve of the majority to choose unity over chaos and democracy, over anarchy. Let me assure you that beyond the celebration of the 63rd Independence anniversary, the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation has a coordinating point of implementing or implementation of policies and decisions of government that has made full arrangements to document and carry forward the critical outcomes of this imposition to the highest level of political leadership. We are necessary relevant national think tank institutions, such as the National Institute for Strategic Studies, NIPS, and the Nigerian Institute for Social and Economic Research, NISO, would be engaged to deepen the articulation. The issue of coming up with a living wage is the foundation of the corrupt free society. If a worker is paid well, he is paid enough to be able to afford his basic needs. It will help to eliminate corruption in a significant way, because he doesn't need to still be able to feed his family. He doesn't need to still be able to pay his rent. He doesn't have to still take his children to school. Today in the Nigerian Project, this is what is completely absent. We all need a duty to ourselves, to our children, and the generations yet of born to play our part as leaders at whatever level we find ourselves. The election of President Bola Mehtinubu, despite all the oars on his path, must miss out to us as a nation about the awesomeness and grace of God. As the president, he has praised before us his vision of renewed hope. At this time in our nation's history, he is the eagle on our nation's coat of arms. The visionary has pratched. But his plumage is going to be provided by all of us in leadership positions at all levels across the three tiers of governments in this nation at national and subnational levels. The issues that have identified in this paper are the feathers to be regenerated by the effective leadership that he is expecting you all to provide your respective positions. He is anxiously waiting for these feathers to enable him spread those wings to their full span and lift off Nigeria to soar to the skies, the skies of his socioeconomic development, national unity and prosperity.
