The Senate on Tuesday passed the National Anthem Bill 2024, which seeks to revert to the old national anthem, “Nigeria, we hail thee.”
The bill, which swiftly moved through its first and second readings, now awaits the assent of President Bola Tinubu to become law.
This development follows the House of Representatives’ approval of the bill last Thursday.
Further details on the implications and reactions to this legislative change are expected soon.
