Tinubu’s FG Releases Approved Lyrics of Reinstated National Anthem: ‘Nigeria, We Hail Thee’

Fox Nigeria journalist Esther Odili has over two years of experience covering political parties and movements.

FCT, Abuja – On Wednesday, June 5, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s led federal government, through the National Orientation Agency (NOA), unveiled the approved version of the reintroduced national anthem.

Also, the agency specifically urged Nigerians to pay attention to the words in lines three and five of the national anthem that was reintroduced, The Punch reported.

Recall that on May 29, President Tinubu signed into law the bill to revert to the old national anthem.

But Lanre Issa-Onilu, the Director-General of the NOA, unveiled the standardized version of the anthem on Wednesday in Abuja.

As reported by The Nation, he explained that the goal of the exercise was to guarantee that the lyrics remain consistent.

He said:

“Today’s event is to present the official version which will clear all doubts about the correct lyrics as contained in the Act signed by the President.

“We call the attention of Nigerians to line three of the first stanza, which reads: Though tribes and tongues may differ. Note that the words “tribes” and “tongues” are in plural. We want you to also note that line five of the first stanza reads: Nigerians all, are proud to serve”. The word ”are”, not ”and” is correct.”
