As Nigeria marks its 65th Independence Anniversary, Hon. Dr. Olotu Otemu Akpodiete JP, a former House of Representatives aspirant, has called on leaders to adopt purposeful governance. He stressed the need for visionary policies and people-oriented leadership to drive national development.

Despite six decades of independence, Nigeria continues to grapple with significant challenges, including infrastructural decay, unemployment, insecurity, and poor economic management. Dr. Akpodiete attributed these issues to a lack of sincerity and strong political will among leaders, emphasizing that a change in approach is necessary.

"Our leaders must rise above personal interests and embrace selfless service," Dr. Akpodiete urged. "Nigeria's abundant human and natural resources must be harnessed for the collective good." He highlighted the importance of unity, peace, and inclusiveness in driving national development and expressed optimism that with the right leadership direction, Nigeria can attain its rightful place among developed nations.

As the nation looks to the future, Dr. Akpodiete emphasized the need for leaders to prioritize the needs of the people. This includes investing in infrastructure, creating jobs, and ensuring security. By doing so, Nigeria can unlock its full potential and provide a brighter future for its citizens.

The anniversary serves as a reminder of the country's progress and challenges. With purposeful leadership, Nigeria can overcome its current hurdles and emerge as a major player on the global stage. Dr. Akpodiete's call to action serves as a timely reminder of the need for leaders to put the people first and work towards a better future for all Nigerians.
