President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday, signed the National Anthem Bill 2024 into law.

The bill sought to return the old national anthem ‘Nigeria, We hail thee’ into law.

Senate President, Godswill Akpabio announced this on Wednesday, at a joint session of the National Assembly marking the Silver Jubilee Of Nigeria’s 4th Republic.

This final assent to the passage of the bill will bring about a shift from the now-recognised, “Arise O Compatriots.”
