President Bola Tinubu will on Tuesday address Nigerians in a
nationwide broadcast at 7 a.m.
Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on
information and strategy, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
He said the broadcast is part of activities to commemorate
the 64th Independence Anniversary of the country.
“Television, radio stations and other electronic media
outlets are enjoined to hook up to the network services of the Nigerian
Television Authority and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria for the
broadcast,” Onanuga said.
The federal government had declared Tuesday, October 1,
2024, as public holiday to commemorate this year’s Independence Day
celebration.
Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, minister of interior, announced the
holiday on Saturday in a statement by Magdalene Ajani, permanent secretary in
the ministry.
The federal government also said that this year’s
Independence Day anniversary will be a “low-key event” due to the economic
hardship and facing millions of Nigerians.
