ADDRESS BY HIS EXCELLENCY, PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU, GCFR, PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA IN COMMEMORATION OF THE 63RD INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY OF NIGERIA ON SUNDAY, 1ST OCTOBER, 2023

Dear Compatriots,

It is my unique honour to address you on this day, the 63rd anniversary of our nation’s independence, both as the President of our dear country and, simply, as a fellow Nigerian.
On this solemn yet hopeful day, let us commend our founding fathers and mothers. Without them, there would be no modern Nigeria. From the fading embers of colonialism, their activism, dedication and leadership gave life to the belief in Nigeria as a sovereign and independent nation.

is being extended through the expansion of cash transfer programs to an additional 15 million vulnerable households.

My administration shall always accord the highest priority to the safety of the people. Inter-Service collaboration and intelligence sharing have been enhanced. Our Service Chiefs have been tasked with the vital responsibility of rebuilding the capacities of our security services.

Here, I salute and commend our gallant security forces for keeping us safe and securing our territorial integrity. Many have paid the ultimate sacrifice. We remember them today and their families. We shall equip our forces with the ways and means needed to perform their urgent task on behalf of the people,

We shall continue to make key appointments in line with the provisions of the Constitution and with fairness toward all. Women, Youth and the physically challenged shall continue to be given due regard in these appointments.

May I take this opportunity to congratulate the National Assembly for its role in the quick take-off of this administration through the performance of its constitutional duties of confirmation and oversight.

I similarly congratulate the judiciary as a pillar of democracy and fairness.

I also thank members of our dynamic civil society organizations and labour unions for their dedication to Nigerian democracy. We may not always agree but I value your advice and recommendations. You are my brothers and sisters and you have my due respect.

Fellow compatriots, the journey ahead will not be navigated by fear or hatred. We can only achieve our better Nigeria through courage, compassion and commitment as one indivisible unit.

I promise that I shall remain committed and serve faithfully. I also invite all to join this enterprise to remake our beloved nation into its better self. We can do it. We must do it. We shall do it.!!!

I wish you all a happy 63rd Independence Anniversary.

Thank you for listening.

May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Marie Skłodowska Curie was shy, and she loved nature. She was known to work hard, at times even forgetting to eat. And she was practical, wearing a dark blue dress on her wedding day, which she would continue to wear for many years while working in her laboratory. “I have no dress except the one I wear every day. If you are going to be kind enough to give me one, please let it be practical and dark so that I can put it on afterwards to go to the laboratory,” she would say.

Born in Warsaw in 1867, Marie was the youngest of five children. She grew up in a home with an emphasis on education; her father worked as a science teacher, while her mother ran a boarding school. As a teenager, because of her gender and political suppression under Russian rule, Marie attended a “floating school,” which was an underground school that often changed locations to avoid being discovered by authorities. And for her college years, Marie and her sister alternated years of work to financially support each other, as their father could not pay for their schooling.

Her formal education culminated with a Ph.D. in 1903. That same year, Marie became the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize. She was awarded the distinction along with two others, including her husband, for discoveries made in physics, specifically around radioactivity. And in 1911, Marie was awarded the Nobel Prize again, this time for research conducted in Chemistry.

Often facing sexism, questions of time spent at work instead of raising her children, Marie focused on research to make important discoveries. She passed away in 1934 from aplastic anemia, believed to be the result of prolonged exposure to radiation.
