On the first day of the year, January 1, 2024, President Bola Tinubu is scheduled to present a New Year’s Day address to the nation. In an announcement made by Ajuri Ngelale, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, it was disclosed that the live broadcast is set to take place at 7 am on the Nigeria Television Authority’s network service.
The statement urges television, radio stations, and other electronic media outlets to connect to the network services of the Nigeria Television Authority and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria to broadcast the address nationwide.
This upcoming broadcast on Monday marks President Tinubu’s fourth address to the nation. His inaugural broadcast occurred on Democracy Day, June 12, setting the tone for his presidency. Subsequently, on July 31, he addressed the nation, outlining the Federal Government’s interventions following the discontinuation of the petrol subsidy. Additionally, a nationwide address took place on October 1, 2023, commemorating the 63rd Independence Day. As the President prepares for the first day of the new year, the nation awaits the insights and messages he will share in this symbolic New Year’s Day broadcast.
