Why new national anthem was first sung at National Assembly – Akpabio

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, said the new national anthem was officially launched at the National Assembly because the parliament is the voice of Nigerians.

President Bola Tinubu signed the bill to revert the old national anthem into law on Wednesday morning.

The bill sought to replace the current anthem with the former one adopted as the country’s independence on 1 October, 1960, but was changed in 1978 by the Olusegun Obasanjo military regime.
