The Federal Government has unveiled an inter-ministerial committee to organize and oversee the events for Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day, which will take place on October 1, 2025.
Naija News reports that the inauguration of the committee was carried out in Abuja by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume.
He explained that the anniversary offers a moment for Nigerians to look back on the nation’s history, recognize the struggles it has faced, and think about the collective goals that lie ahead.
He said that Nigeria has been through political, social, and economic difficulties but has always managed to overcome them, stressing that the anniversary is not only about celebrating the past but also about building the future.
Akume also called on citizens to strengthen their commitment to unity, patriotism, and national growth.
The line-up of activities will start with a World Press Conference on September 25, followed by a Juma’at service and women’s events on September 26.
On September 27, youth programmes and a historical arts exhibition will take place, while a church service is planned for September 28.
A public lecture will hold on September 29, leading up to October 1, when the celebrations will peak with a presidential broadcast and the Independence Day parade.
In addition, the government introduced the Nigeria @65 Compendium Project Workstation, a project of CherryAfrica Magazine in partnership with the SGF’s office.
The facility is fitted with a modern studio where television interview sessions will be held with senior government officials. These discussions will focus on milestones achieved under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
