Enforcers of Good Governance Founder, Dr. Ogu Laud President Tinubu for His Giant Strides, Celebrate Nigeria @65
By Joel Ajayi
The Founder and Director-General of the Enforcers of Good Governance, Dr. Kingsley Ogu has extended warm congratulations to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all Nigerians on the occasion of the country’s 65th Independence Anniversary.
Speaking to journalists in Ogbugbu, ONELGA, Rivers State, Dr. Kingsley praised President Tinubu for the bold reforms and transformative projects being implemented under his administration.
He particularly highlighted the Student Loan Scheme and the Coastal Road Project as game-changing initiatives that will leave a lasting legacy.
“The disbursement of over ₦61 billion across 231 institutions, reaching more than 581,000 beneficiaries, is nothing short of magical,” Dr. Kingsley remarked. “Posterity will be kind to you, Mr. President.”
He lauded the pace and ambition of the Coastal Road Project, describing it as “rapid and audacious,” and questioned why such visionary steps were not taken by previous administrations.
According to Dr. Kingsley, had Nigeria experienced leadership of this caliber earlier, the nation could have rivaled countries like the UAE, Brazil, and Malaysia in development and global standing.
Dr. Kingsley also commended President Tinubu for his decisive intervention in restoring constitutional order in Rivers State. He applauded the President for prioritizing the will of the people, lifting the emergency rule, and enabling the resumption of duties by both the elected governor and state assembly members.
“On behalf of myself and the entire membership of Enforcers of Good Governance, I congratulate President Tinubu as Nigeria marks 65 years of independence,” Dr. Kingsley stated. “We celebrate not only the nation but the bold steps being taken to secure a brighter future for all Nigerians.”

Musawa Seeks Broader Significance for June 12
Joel Ajayi
The Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musa Musawa, Esq., says June 12 must be remembered as a sacrifice that gave Nigerians democracy, beyond its status as a public holiday.
In a statement signed on Saturday by the Senior Assistant Media & Publicity to the Honourable Minister,Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy Dr Nneka Ikem Anibeze Ph.D in Abuja.
Musawa stated this at the national premiere of “MKO”, a film on Chief Moshood Abiola, held at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts, Lagos, to mark Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary.
She said 33 years after June 12, 1993, many young Nigerians know it only as a holiday, but the film turns it back into memory.
“For too many young Nigerians, June 12 is simply a public holiday. This film tells them that our democracy did not arrive by chance. It was fought for. It was defended. It was paid for. This documentary is in honour of the heroes of June 12, the men and women who gave their lives for the mandate of June 12, 1993 and for the democracy Nigeria enjoys today,” the Minister said.
Musawa hailed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Chief Host, for his participation in the June 12 struggle and paying the price in exile, adding that Nigeria’s creative industry will keep telling the story of its democracy with courage.
“Through film and the creative economy, Nigeria will preserve its history. A nation that forgets its past loses its way to the future. Nigeria has a story and our story deserves to be told,” she said.
Earlier, the director of the investigative documentary, Ose Oyamendan, said the film was in honour and memory of heroes who fought for Nigeria’s democracy.
“There was Hope ’93 and now there is Renewed Hope. There was a man who sacrificed his life so we may have democracy and there is a man who almost lost his life fighting for democracy who is now helping build a lasting democracy.
“There was a great man called Bashorun MKO Abiola and there is now another great man called Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Democrats. Nationalists. Nation builders. Leaders of men and women. We must never forget our story. We must always honour and remember our heroes,” Oyamendan said.
Top government officials including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the wife of the President Senator Oluremi Tinubu; Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas, Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Chief of Staff to the President Rt. Femi Gbajabiamila, state Governors, members of the National Assembly, Ministers and other distinguished dignitaries attended the premiere.
