Independence Message From DGN President, Dr. Victor Okhai

Dear Nigerians, today is a big day in our country—it is the celebration of our independence. Accept my sincere congratulations.
The Directors' Guild of Nigeria (DGN) congratulates the good people of Nigeria
on the celebration of the 63rd anniversary of independence. We wish the country
and her citizens present happiness and future prosperity.
At this juncture, it is critical for us to reflect on the state of the
country’s creative and economic situation, and it is incumbent on us to find
solutions to our own problems that are at once practical and responsive to our
peculiar situation. We in the Guild are not in doubt that, with cooperation on
all sides, it should not be difficult for us to achieve our dreams as a nation.
It is important to reiterate that until we institute a culture of respect for
our democratic system of electing our leaders, to paraphrase the words of
Emperor Haile Selassie I, "the desire for sustainable development and
prosperity will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never
attained”.
As we celebrate this Independence Day, let us not forget the sacrifices made by
our founding fathers and the heroes who fought for our freedom. Their bravery
and determination have paved the way for us to enjoy the privileges we have
today. We must honour their memory by working towards a Nigeria that thrives on
unity, justice, and progress.
Today, I call on the creative industry and all Nigerians to join hands in
building a society where every citizen has equal opportunities, access to quality
education, healthcare, and a thriving economy. Let us champion peace, unity,
and tolerance, embracing our diversity as a source of strength.
In conclusion, let us not lose sight of the fact that our collective future
lies in our hands. Together, we can build a prosperous creative industry in
Nollywood and Nigeria that generations will be proud of.
May peace and prosperity return to our country so we can all celebrate her
greatness again. May God bless the creative industry, may God bless Nigeria,
and may God bless us all.
Thank you, and happy Independence celebrations!
