George Akume, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, disclosed this during a press conference held in Abuja. He emphasized that the choice of a low-key celebration was not indicative of the country’s performance but rather a response to challenging economic times. Akume stated, “Low-keyed celebration has nothing to do with whether we’re not doing well. Economic times are hard, we are looking at it not just at the national level but also as a family. We have not invited world leaders.”
He elaborated on the importance of maintaining national interest, emphasizing the commitment to unity and prosperity despite Nigeria’s diversity. The theme of the anniversary is “Nigeria @ 63, Renewed Hope for Unity & Prosperity.”
Akume noted the significance of the celebration, highlighting Nigeria’s unbroken democratic record since 1999 and the successful transitions of power between governments. He acknowledged the economic challenges faced by Nigerians, such as the removal of the fuel subsidy and global economic downturn, and assured that the government was working on providing palliatives and addressing workers’ concerns.
The event’s schedule includes an anniversary symposium and public lecture, a lecture at the National Mosque, Juma’at Prayer at the National Mosque, a military parade, a multi-denominational church service, and a presidential broadcast.
Akume called upon media professionals and patriots to support the administration’s efforts and collaborate in building a better Nigeria. He urged them to publicize the activities planned for Nigeria’s 63rd Independence anniversary.

Taking over leadership at the JAMB headquarters in Bwari, Abuja, Aina succeeds Professor Ishaq Oloyede, whose 10-year, two-term tenure concluded on July 31, 2026. Initially approved by President Bola Tinubu on May 21 when Aina was 39, this appointment marks him as the youngest individual ever to lead the examination body.
When the appointment was first announced, Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, highlighted Aina’s deep background in digital infrastructure, public-sector reforms, and national examination systems, noting his historic milestone as one of Nigeria’s youngest computer engineering professors.
In his inaugural address, Aina acknowledged the foundation laid by his predecessor—who is widely credited with modernizing the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME)—and vowed to expand on those achievements. Emphasizing a strong stance against malpractice, he warned wrongdoers that their illicit activities have no place at JAMB, promising to ramp up modern technological investments and deepen partnerships with security agencies to safeguard the integrity of the admissions process.
