President Bola Tinubu has signed the National Anthem Bill 2024, which restores the old national anthem “Nigeria, we hail thee”.
Godswill Akpabio, Senate President, announced this on Wednesday during a joint session of the National Assembly commemorating the Silver Jubilee of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic.
The event coincided with the one anniversary of President Bola Tinubu’s government.
Tinubu, who later joined the joint session, confirmed ‘Nigeria, we hail thee’ as the “latest national anthem”.
Akpabio said the sitting was primarily to launch the new national anthem, explaining that the President would not be making a speech because he has to leave to launch the Abuja metro line.
