Nigerians Can Submit Their Ideas For Our Diamond Jubilee Branding – FG

As Nigeria counts down to its Diamond Jubilee, the Federal Government has urged Nigerians to submit creative ideas that can brand the anniversary.

Dr. Isa Pantami, the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, revealed this today in a recent statement in Abuja.

According to him, to guarantee inclusiveness, the thematic and creative aspects of the event would be designed by Nigerians for Nigeria, concentrating on the proposed theme “Together at 60”.

He added that Nigerians have gone far and wide, impacting their communities and the world at large, and the people are only as strong as they are united.

His words, “On Oct.1, Nigeria will be celebrating its Diamond Jubilee as it turns 60 years.”

“It is a day that reminds every citizen about the dawn of the nation we call our country, a diverse nation with resilient and hardworking people.”

“Nigerians have gone far and wide, impacting their communities and the world at large and as the saying goes, we are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.”

“The Federal Government uses this opportunity to celebrate our strength as one indivisible country.”

“The Federal Government is also providing opportunity for Nigerians to choose their brand and harness the power of our creative minds to create other elements that will form the brand of the anniversary.”

Muhammadu Buhari GCFR (born 17 December 1942) is a Nigerian politician currently serving as the President of Nigeria, in office since 2015. He is a retired major general in the Nigerian Army and previously served as the nation’s head of state from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985, after taking power in a military coup d’état. The term Buharism is ascribed to the Buhari military government.

He unsuccessfully ran for the office of president of Nigeria in the 2003, 2007, and 2011 general elections. In December 2014, he emerged as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the March 2015 general elections. Buhari won the election, defeating the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. This marked the first time in the history of Nigeria that an incumbent president lost to an opposition candidate in a general election. He was sworn in on 29 May 2015. In February 2019, Buhari was re-elected President, defeating his closest rival Atiku Abubakar by over 3 million votes.

Buhari has stated that he takes responsibility for anything over which he presided during his military rule, and that he cannot change the past. He has described himself as a “converted democrat”.
