Nigeria denotes its 58th Independence Day Anniversary today, October 1, 2018. 

The nation, the most crowded dark country on earth, picked up autonomy from the United Kingdom in 1960, with Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa turning into the solitary Prime Minister Nigeria at any point had. 

Keeping with convention, the Nigerian pioneer, for this situation President Muhammadu Buhari, has tended to the country. 

He took a gander at what the nation, particularly his organization, has accomplished so far and how the administration is tending to different issues tormenting the nation's development. 

The following is the discourse the President conveyed on first October, 2018.

Fellow Nigerians,

Today is a day of celebration and solemn reflection. It is the anniversary of the day Nigerians realised one of the most cherished of human desires – the desire for freedom. We, therefore, give thanks to and remember our founding fathers who laboured so hard and sacrificed so much to build and bequeath to us this wonderful nation. It is our duty to consolidate this great legacy.

2. On this first October date and on the eve of the start of the general election cycle, we should do well to reflect on what binds us together and the great strength our diversity bestows on us. Ours is an ambitious nation, and, as citizens we have every right to look forward to the future with confidence and optimism which are well founded, considering where we find ourselves today.
