THE Federal Government has unveiled the official theme for the 2025 Independence Day celebrations, emphasizing unity and collective responsibility in building the nation.
In a statement issued today by Segun Imohiosen, Director of Information and Public Relations in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, the theme was announced as: “Nigeria @ 65: All Hands on Deck for a Greater Nation.”
According to the government, the theme reflects the importance of collaboration across all sectors—public institutions, the private sector, civil society, and citizens—towards promoting peace, prosperity, and progress.
It also underscores Nigeria’s resilience since independence in 1960 and highlights the need to consolidate past gains while pursuing greater achievements under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Government agencies and stakeholders have been directed to align their activities and programmes with the anniversary theme to ensure its impact resonates across the country.
As part of the 65th Independence Day events, a Juma’at prayer will be held on Friday, September 26, followed by an inter-denominational church service on Sunday, September 28.
A World Press Conference is also scheduled for Monday, September 29, in Abuja.
The government noted that these activities are designed to reflect the spirit of unity and patriotism captured in the anniversary theme.
