The Federal Government has announced “Nigeria @65: All Hands on Deck for a Greater Nation” as the official theme for the nation’s 2025 Independence Day celebrations.
On Wednesday, the Director of Information and Public Relations in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), Segun Imohiosen, announced this in Abuja.
He explained that the theme highlights the need for unity, teamwork, and patriotism among government bodies, the private sector, civil groups, and citizens to promote peace, progress, and prosperity in Nigeria.
The statement also noted that the theme was chosen to reflect Nigeria’s resilience since independence in 1960. It stresses the importance of building on past achievements while working toward greater goals under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Government agencies and partners are expected to align their activities with the anniversary theme so that its message is felt across all areas of national life.
As part of activities lined up for the 65th Independence celebrations, a Juma’at prayer will hold on Friday, September 26, followed by an inter-denominational church service on Sunday, September 28. There will also be a World Press Conference on Monday, September 29, in Abuja.
