President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commemorated the 2024 Ogoni Martyrs Remembrance Day, honoring the sacrifices of Ken Saro-Wiwa among other Ogoni leaders who fought against environmental degradation and economic exploitation in the Niger Delta region.

In a statement issued on Monday made available to The Yoruba Times, President Tinubu reiterated his administration’s commitment to addressing historical grievances and promoting sustainable development in the Niger Delta.

He emphasized the importance of constructive engagement and mutual respect in building a united and prosperous nation.

Part of the statement read, “We honour their memory by recognising their sacrifices and pledging to build a future of peace, justice, and sustainable development for all communities, especially in the Niger Delta.

“As we remember the Ogoni Martyrs, let us honour their legacy by committing to a future where injustices are no longer tolerated and where the voices of all Nigerians are heard and respected,” President Tinubu said.

This year’s remembrance, themed “After Price, Comes Prise,” reflects a shared commitment to acknowledge past pain while aspiring toward a brighter future.
