The Federal Government has announced “Nigeria @ 65: All Hands on Deck for a Greater Nation” as the official theme for the 2025 Independence Day celebrations.
Segun Imohiosen, Director of Information and Public Relations in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), disclosed this in a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja.
He explained that the theme underscores the need for unity, collaboration, and patriotism among government institutions, the private sector, civil society, and citizens in advancing peace, prosperity, and progress.
According to the statement, the theme also reflects Nigeria’s resilience since independence in 1960, emphasizing the importance of consolidating past achievements while pursuing greater national goals under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Government agencies and partners have been directed to align their programmes with the anniversary theme to ensure its message resonates nationwide.
As part of activities marking the 65th Independence anniversary, a Juma’at prayer is scheduled for Friday, September 26, followed by an inter-denominational church service on Sunday, September 28, and a World Press Conference on Monday, September 29, in Abuja.
