In obedience to the directive of the Federal Government that the 2023 Independence Day celebration should be low-key, the Ogun State government has cancelled all arrangements in respect of the anniversary on October 1st, 2023.
The decision by the Federal Government is to reflect the mood of the nation.
Consequently, the state government enjoins all citizens of the state to spend the time praying solemnly for the country.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Tokunbo Talabi, and made available to the media.
Talabi said, “It is the strong belief of the government under the leadership of Governor Dapo Abiodun that the supplications of the people at this crucial time will be answered by God.
“We seek the understanding and cooperation of all and sundry, as we observe a low-key independence anniversary this year, believing that better times lie ahead of us as a people.”
