President Bola Tinubu will on Tuesday address Nigerians in a nationwide broadcast at 7 a.m.
Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
He said the broadcast is part of activities to commemorate the 64th Independence Anniversary of the country.
“Television, radio stations and other electronic media outlets are enjoined to hook up to the network services of the Nigerian Television Authority and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria for the broadcast,” Onanuga said.
The federal government had declared Tuesday, October 1, 2024, as public holiday to commemorate this year’s Independence Day celebration.
Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, minister of interior, announced the holiday on Saturday in a statement by Magdalene Ajani, permanent secretary in the ministry.
The federal government also said that this year’s Independence Day anniversary will be a “low-key event” due to the economic hardship and facing millions of Nigerians.
