The Federal Government has announced the official theme for Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day celebration as “Nigeria @ 65: All Hands on Deck for a Greater Nation.”
In a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja, Segun Imohiosen, Director of Information and Public Relations at the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, said the theme underscores the need for unity, collaboration, and patriotism among government institutions, the private sector, civil society, and citizens.
He explained that the choice of theme reflects Nigeria’s resilience since independence in 1960, stressing the importance of consolidating past achievements while pursuing loftier goals under the Renewed Hope Agenda. 
“All government agencies and partners are expected to align their programmes with the anniversary theme to ensure its message resonates across all spheres of national life,” the statement read.
As part of activities lined up, a Juma’at prayer will hold on Friday, September 26, followed by an inter-denominational church service on Sunday, September 28. A World Press Conference will take place on Monday, September 29, in Abuja.
