The Federal Government has announced the official theme for Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary, tagged: “Nigeria @ 65: All Hands on Deck for a Greater Nation.”
Segun Imohiosen, Director of Information and Public Relations in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), said the theme reflects the need for unity, collaboration, and patriotism among government, private sector, civil society, and citizens to build a nation defined by peace, prosperity, and progress.
Imohiosen noted that since independence on October 1, 1960, Nigeria has navigated several challenges while recording notable advancements in different sectors of the economy.
He said this makes it imperative for all Nigerians to consolidate the gains and collectively pursue greater national aspirations in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“It is expected that government activities and programmes align with the official theme to ensure the message resonates across all aspects of our national life,” he added.
As part of the activities lined up for the anniversary, a Juma’at Prayer will hold on Friday, September 26, at 1 pm, while an inter-denominational church service is scheduled for Sunday, September 28, at 10 am.
A World Press Conference will follow on Monday, September 29, at 10 am.
