Every official and public event will henceforth require reciting the National Pledge following the playing of the National Anthem, per President Bola Tinubu’s directive.
Presidency sources claim that the decision was made to uphold Nigeria’s ethos and unique identity, fortify loyalty and fidelity to the nation, and guarantee complete respect for the national emblems.
On Thursday’s groundbreaking ceremony of Renewed Hope City, a 3,112-unit housing project located in Karsana, Abuja, the President stressed the importance of upholding national norms, supporting national principles, and respecting national values.
“Before I left home this morning, I asked for a printout of the National Pledge, and we have to relaunch it again at this event. The relaunch is about being committed to the values, greatness, and hope of our country. It is our pledge to Nigeria, our country, to be faithful, loyal, and honest. To serve Nigeria with all your strength – we saw it on the field of play yesterday. We were all rejoicing. Every one of us loves victory. We love to win. When you are positive and you are hopeful, Nigeria is winning.
“We did not say it will be Eldorado and smooth all the way. But we are confident that this country will excel in all ramifications. We will defend our unity and uphold Nigeria’s glory in every way possible because we are Nigerians, and we have no other country,” President Tinubu said.
