Tinubu signs National Anthem Law, lawmakers sing ‘Nigeria we hail thee’ at joint sitting

Members of the joint session of the National Assembly sang the old, but now new national anthem, ‘Nigeria, we hail thee’ for the first time at the marking of the Silver Jubilee of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic.

The singing commenced after the President signed the National Anthem bill 2024 into law, and spoke to the members of the National Assembly.

The Senate and the House of Representatives had previously passed the legislation to replace the national anthem from “Arise, O Compatriots” to “Nigeria, We Hail Thee” at separate sittings.
