Senate okays bill to change National Anthem to ‘Nigeria, We Hail Thee’

The Senate, on Tuesday, approved a bill to change the current national anthem titled “Arise O Compatriots” to the old national anthem “Nigeria, We Hail Thee.”

The bill passed its third reading after the upper chamber considered the report of its Committees on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, and Federal Character, and Intergovernmental Affairs.
