President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will broadcast to the nation on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at 7 a.m., in commemoration of Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary.
All television, radio stations, and other electronic media outlets are urged to join the network services of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) for the broadcast.
The announcement was made by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy).
In a related development, the federal government has announced the cancellation of the Independence Anniversary parade, which was previously scheduled for the same day.
The government clarified that this decision does not diminish the significance of the milestone and that all other anniversary programs will proceed as planned.
The government expressed regret for any inconvenience and appreciated the understanding of the public, while also urging Nigerians to support the president’s reforms.
