President Bola Tinubu has given his assent to the National Anthem Bill 2024 reverting the country to the old national anthem, “Nigeria, we hail thee”.
The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, revealed this on Wednesday at a joint session of the National Assembly marking the Silver Jubilee Of Nigeria’s 4th Republic.
President Bola Tinubu is expected at the joint session.
Akpabio said the sitting is primarily to launch the new national anthem, explaining that the President will not be making a speech because he has to leave to launch the Abuja metro line.
The Senate and the House of Representatives had previously passed the bill at separate sittings.
