President Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday, unveiled the logo for the country’s 60th independence anniversary.
The unveiling took place during the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
It was witnessed by Federal Ministers and the Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.
Ministers at the meeting include the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola; Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed; Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, among others.
The Federal Government had, earlier in September, called on Nigerians to submit creative ideas that can brand the anniversary, which is themed “Together at 60”.
“It is to the Glory of God and in celebration of the attainment of the Diamond Age of 60 by our great Nation that I hereby unveil the preferred anniversary logo for this momentous occasion in our Nation’s history,” President Buhari said.
“With a deep feeling of national pride that I hereby announce to you, that #TOGETHER shall be the theme of our 60th Anniversary Celebration. Our founding fathers, in spite of the differences in faith, tribe and tongue, came TOGETHER to fight for Nigeria’s independence.”
Nigeria’s Independence is usually celebrated annually on October 1.
