President Bola Tinubu will address Nigerians on October 1 as part of activities marking the country’s 66th Independence anniversary, with the Federal Government opting for a low-key programme.
The Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation disclosed this in a statement on Thursday following the inauguration of the Inter-Ministerial Committee responsible for organising the programme in Abuja.
The committee is chaired by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume.
Represented at the meeting by the Permanent Secretary, Political and Economic Affairs Office, Bekearedebo Warrens, Akume said the occasion would provide an opportunity for Nigerians to reflect on the contributions and sacrifices of the country’s founding fathers and heroines.
He said, “The 66th Independence Anniversary provides an opportunity for Nigerians to reflect on the contributions, sacrifices and enduring legacies of the nation’s founding fathers and heroines who worked for Nigeria’s independence from colonial rule.”
