Independence Day: FG declares Tuesday public holiday

The Federal Government has declared Tuesday, October 1, 2024, a public holiday to commemorate the nation’s 64th Independence Day.

Tunji-Ojo congratulated Nigerians at home and abroad on this occasion and praised the patient and hardworking Nigerian men and women, stating that their sacrifices would not be in vain.

He reiterated the need for Nigerians to reflect on the “labour of our heroes past and be inspired for the tasks ahead, realizing that a Nigeria of our dream can only be built when we unite.”
