Nigeria returns to old National Anthem

President Bola Tinubu has signed the National Anthem bill seeking to return the old national anthem ‘Nigeria, We hail thee’ into law.

Senate President, Godswill Akpabio announced this on Wednesday at the joint sitting of the Senate and House of Representatives.

Meanwhile, President Bola Tinubu who addressed the lawmakers, said he will soon present a supplementary budget for the approval of the National Assembly.

In his welcome address, the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio said the President only stopped over to greet the lawmakers and commission the National Assembly Library.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, apologized for the misinformation earlier passed on the visit of the President, saying it was a mistake on the part of the National Assembly.

“The president has said that whatever speech we have to give should be shifted to June 12 which is democracy day, so to this effect the president will come flag off the recitation of the new National anthem after giving assent to it and will thereafter proceed to other important engagements.”
