President Bola Tinubu has directed the mandatory recitation of the National Pledge after the National Anthem at all official and public gatherings.
This announcement came during the groundbreaking ceremony of the 3,112-unit Renewed Hope City project in Karsana, Abuja, on Thursday.
President Tinubu said it is important to respect national symbols, uphold values, and remain committed to Nigeria’s ideals. He stressed the need for unity and shared his optimism for the country’s future.
He said, “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. Everyone 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.
