congratulate the citizens of Nigeria as you celebrate your
Independence Day on October 1.
I recently returned from my third trip to Nigeria as
Secretary, and I came away with a strong sense of the
nation’s resolve to build a better future. During my trip, I
was reminded that many Nigerians are engaged in bringing
people together across the divides of culture, religious
practices, and ethnicity.
“There is still much work to be done to provide economic
opportunities for all, end corruption, win the fight against
Boko Haram, ensure broad respect for human rights and
provide humanitarian relief for millions of displaced people.
“But we know that Nigerians are hard at work to address
these challenges.
“The United States looks forward to deepening our
partnership and friendship with Nigerians from all walks of
life, so that we may work together for the betterment of
Nigeria and all of Africa.
“Best wishes to all of you on this the 56th anniversary of
your independence.”
