The Federal Government has unveiled the official theme for Nigeria’s 2025 Independence Day celebrations: “Nigeria @ 65: All Hands on Deck for a Greater Nation.”

This was disclosed in Abuja on Wednesday by Segun Imohiosen, Director of Information and Public Relations in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

According to the government, the theme underscores the need for unity, collaboration, and patriotism among government institutions, the private sector, civil society, and citizens to promote peace, prosperity, and progress.

It added that the choice reflects Nigeria’s resilience since independence in 1960, and highlights the importance of consolidating past achievements while pursuing loftier goals under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

Government agencies and partners are expected to align their programmes with the anniversary theme to ensure its resonance nationwide.

Activities marking the 65th Independence celebrations include a Juma’at prayer on Friday, September 26; an inter-denominational church service on Sunday, September 28; and a World Press Conference in Abuja on Monday, September 29.
