Secretary to the FederalGovernment of Nigeria(SGF), George Akume, has revealed that this year’s independence Day Celebration will be on low key.
This was made known by Akume while answering questions from the State House correspondents after meeting with vice president, Kashim Shettima.
Akume, conveyed the government’s readiness for the festivities coming up next month.
In his words:“Independence is a very historic event for any country, and we Nigerians are no exception; we are fully prepared for celebrations.”
He said that the Celebration would be low-key in nature, a departure from past grandeur.
He extended well wishes to Nigerians and assured them that brighter days wee on the horizon, adding that, “Better days are coming, and pretty soon too.”
Akume emphasised the subdued nature of the event, explaining that, “This is going to be low-key; we are not going on a fantastic jamboree at the Eagle Square and other locations.
“It’s a time for reflection; it’s a time for all of us to think deeply as a people about the journey forward, and this journey is being charted by the captain of the ship.”
