Joel Ajayi
As Nigeria marks its 65th Independence Anniversary, the PBAT Door 2 Door Movement has joined millions of Nigerians in celebrating the nation’s resilience, unity, and democratic journey.
Speaking during the commemorative event, the National Coordinator of the Movement, Comrade Sunday Adekanbi Asuku, underscored the significance of the anniversary, describing it as “an incredible milestone that reflects our strength as a people and our unity in diversity.”
“As a nation, we celebrate our founding fathers, our fallen heroes, and all past leaders whose sacrifices laid the foundation for the freedom we enjoy today,” Asuku said. “Without their labor and effort, we would not be where we are.”
The Movement, which operates under the grand patronage of High Chief Oweizide Ekpemupolo (Tompolo), has been at the forefront of mobilizing grassroots support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration across the country.
Reaffirming its commitment to national unity, peace, and development, the PBAT Door 2 Door Movement urged Nigerians to shun corruption, banditry, and insecurity, stressing that only through collective effort can the nation attain greatness.
“As we celebrate 65 years of independence, let us promote peace, unity, growth, and development. Let us rally behind President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. Nigeria shall be great again if we work together as one people with one destiny,” Asuku emphasized.
The group also paid glowing tribute to President Tinubu, describing him as the Commander-in-Chief who embodies the vision of a stronger, more prosperous Nigeria.
The anniversary celebration, the Movement noted, is not just a remembrance of the past but also a call to action for every Nigerian to contribute to the nation’s progress.
“Let us forge ahead. There must be a way forward. Nigeria will only move higher if we remain united,” Asuku added.

The Embassy of Algeria in Nigeria has commemorated the 72nd anniversary of the country’s Glorious Revolution of November 1, 1954, with a reception in Abuja, highlighting Algeria’s liberation struggle and strengthening diplomatic relations with Nigeria.
The event, held on November 9, 2026, at Continental Suites Hotel, attracted prominent personalities, including the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dr Tajudeen Abbas, members of the Federal Government, senior government officials, heads of diplomatic missions and other friends of Algeria.
Speaking at the reception, Algeria’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Hocine Mezoued, welcomed guests and paid tribute to the country’s freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives during the struggle for independence.
He described the November 1, 1954 revolution as the foundation of modern Algeria, noting that the sacrifices of the nation’s martyrs made it possible for the country to reclaim its sovereignty.
On Algeria’s development agenda, Mezoued said President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s administration had continued to pursue economic reforms, diversification and national development under its New Algeria vision.
He noted that the country was recording progress in non-hydrocarbon exports, while improvements in the business environment had boosted investor confidence and attracted significant foreign investments.
On foreign policy, the ambassador reaffirmed Algeria’s commitment to non-interference, respect for national sovereignty, peaceful conflict resolution and the right of peoples to self-determination.
Addressing security challenges in the Sahel, he stressed that lasting peace could not be achieved through military measures alone, insisting that economic development, inclusive dialogue and peaceful resolution of disputes remained essential.
Turning to Nigeria-Algeria relations, Mezoued described the partnership as one founded on shared values and the commitment of both countries’ leaders to advancing African development.
He identified the Trans-Saharan Highway, Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline and Trans-Saharan Fibre Optic Backbone as major strategic projects receiving attention from both countries.
The ambassador also disclosed that Algeria had continued to provide scholarships to Nigerian students to strengthen human capital development and capacity building.
He further announced that Air Algérie expanded its Nigerian operations on October 26, 2026, with the introduction of two weekly flights to Lagos, expressing confidence that the service would boost trade and tourism.
Looking ahead, Mezoued said 2027 would offer fresh opportunities to deepen bilateral cooperation, particularly through the fifth Joint High Bi-National Commission scheduled to hold in Abuja.
He expressed optimism that the meeting would provide an opportunity to assess existing partnerships, identify new areas of cooperation and move Nigeria-Algeria relations towards a more practical and results-driven phase.
