BREAKING: National Orientation Agency releases approved lyrics of reinstated National Anthem
The National Orientation Agency (NOA) unveiled the approved version of the reintroduced national anthem on Wednesday, June 5. The agency emphasized the importance of paying attention to the specific wording in lines three and five of the anthem.
According to report, President Bola Tinubu signed a bill on May 29 to revert to the old national anthem. Lanre Issa-Onilu, the Director-General of the NOA, presented the standardized version of the anthem in Abuja, explaining that the goal is to ensure the lyrics remain consistent.
Issa-Onilu stated, “Today’s event is to present the official version which will clear all doubts about the correct lyrics as contained in the Act signed by the President. We call the attention of Nigerians to line three of the first stanza, which reads: ‘Though tribes and tongues may differ.’ Note that the words ‘tribes’ and ‘tongues’ are in plural. Also, note that line five of the first stanza reads: ‘Nigerians all, are proud to serve.’ The word ‘are,’ not ‘and,’ is correct.”
