Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced this development while speaking to lawmakers during the ongoing joint session of the National Assembly. The bill aims to replace the current anthem with the former one, which was adopted at Nigeria’s independence on October 1, 1960. However, it was replaced in 1978 during the Olusegun Obasanjo military regime.
