President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday signed the National Anthem Bill 2024 into law. The bill seeks to reinstate the old anthem, “Nigeria, We Hail Thee,” replacing the currently recognized “Arise O Compatriots.”
The bill swiftly passed through both the Senate and the House of Representatives before receiving the President’s final assent.
This legislative move marks a significant shift in Nigeria’s national symbols, aiming to revive the anthem that was in use prior to the current one.
