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.
