The Federal Government has declared Tuesday, October 1, 2024, a public holiday to commemorate Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day.

Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo made the announcement on behalf of the government.

Tunji-Ojo congratulated Nigerians at home and abroad, praising their resilience and hard work. “Their sacrifices will not be in vain,” he assured.

He reiterated the need for Nigerians to reflect on the “labour of our heroes past and be inspired for the tasks ahead, realizing that a Nigeria of our dream can only be built when we unite.”

October 1 marks Nigeria’s independence from British rule in 1960. Celebrations will include parades, cultural events, and speeches across the country, promoting unity, patriotism, and national pride.
