President Bola Tinubu is scheduled to address the nation on Tuesday, October 1, at 7a.m as part of the activities planned to mark Nigeria’s 64th Independence Anniversary. The announcement was made in a statement released by Bayo Onanuga, Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
The broadcast will be transmitted across several media platforms, including television and radio, with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) providing network services for the nationwide broadcast.
All media outlets in Nigeria, including television, radio, and other electronic media, have been asked to connect to these services to ensure the broadcast reaches as many Nigerians as possible.
The speech is expected to focus on key national issues as President Tinubu addresses the challenges and achievements of the country, while laying out plans for the future. Given the significance of the Independence Day celebration, it is anticipated that the President will speak on matters of national unity, economic progress, and security, as these topics remain central to the concerns of many Nigerians.
Independence Day is a moment of reflection for Nigeria, commemorating its freedom from British colonial rule in 1960. This year’s celebration comes at a time when the country is facing various challenges, including economic hardships, insecurity, and calls for reforms across different sectors. President Tinubu’s address will likely aim to reassure Nigerians about the government’s efforts to tackle these issues.
