President Bola Tinubu made a significant move on Wednesday by signing the National Anthem Bill 2024 into law. The bill aims to restore the former anthem, “Nigeria, We Hail Thee,” as the country’s official anthem. Senate President Godswill Akpabio disclosed this development during a joint plenary session attended by Tinubu.
The final approval of the bill signifies a transition from the current anthem, “Arise O Compatriots,” to the reinstated national anthem. Notably, the bill received swift approval from both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Further details on the implications and implementation of the law will be provided later.
