 STATEHOUSE PRESS STATEMENT PRESIDENT TINUBU'S MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE TO CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE AND HER FAMILY   With a deep sense of grief, I condole with Ms Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, her husband, Dr Ivara Esege, and the entire family on the passing of their son, Nkanu Nnamdi.   As a parent myself who has suffered the loss of a loved one, no grief is as devastating as losing a child.   I empathise with the family at this difficult time, and I mourn this sad loss with them.   Ms Adichie is a literary icon who has brought joy and light to many homes globally, and I pray she and her family find strength in the Almighty in this trying hour.   My prayers are with the family.   Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Federal Republic of Nigeria January 8, 2026

THE SENATE HAS PASSED THE NATIONAL ANTHEM BILL 2024 TO REVERT TO THE OLD NATIONAL ANTHEM, "NIGERIA, WE HAIL THEE".(VIDEO/PHOTO).



 The Senate has passed the National Anthem Bill 2024 to revert to the old national anthem, “Nigeria, we hail thee”.


The decision of the senate was sequel to a bill by chair of the committee on judiciary, Tahir Monguno, on Tuesday, May 28, 2024.


The Borneo lawmaker disagreed with Nigeria’s attorney-general, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), for more consideration before the national anthem  is changed.


Monguno described the bill as important and timely considering how divided the country has become in recent times.


About a week ago, the House of Representatives passed a similar bill.


Most lawmakers in both chambers of the national assembly spoke in favour of the bill when they debated on its general principles.


While debating the bill last week, Victor Umeh, senator representing Anambra central, said an anthem is supposed to be motivational, adding that the current one is anything but emotive.


“The old one we are seeking to bring back is one that evokes emotions,” Umeh said.


“A national anthem is supposed to be motivational. There is motivation in the old anthem.


“I think from what my colleagues have said, there is nothing in the current anthem that motivates our people. If we bring it back, our children will be more committed to the ideals of nationhood.”


The bill, which speedily passed first and second readings on Thursday, now awaits assent into law by President Bola Tinubu.
