Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, has said the 2023 Independence Day anniversary will be held in low-key.
The former Benue State Governor said this in Abuja on Wednesday, while speaking to State House correspondents after he met behind closed doors with Vice President Kashim Shettima.
“Independence Day is a very historic event for any country and we in Nigeria are no exception. We are fully prepared for this year’s celebration but for obvious reasons, it is going to be low-keyed.
“This year’s celebration is going to be low-keyed, there will be no room for a fantastic jamboree at the Eagle Square and other locations,” he told reporters.
Akume admonished Nigerians to use the independence anniversary as a means of reflecting deeply on the unity of the country and the journey ahead.
He assured citizens that better days lie ahead for the country, under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu.
“It is a time for reflection for us as a people and the journey forward for the nation, which is being led appropriately by the captain of the ship, President Bola Tinubu. We are wishing Nigerians the best of luck and we want to assure them that better days are coming and pretty soon too,” he added.
