As Nigeria prepares to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee on the 1st of October, 2020, citizens are once more reminded about the dawn of a diverse nation with resilient and hardworking people.
To celebrate the country’s Diamond Jubilee, the Federal Government has approved an inclusive National Independence Celebration program in line with Covid-19 protocols and guidelines.
And to ensure this inclusiveness, the thematic and creative aspects of the event would be designed by Nigerians for Nigeria, according to a statement by Dr Isa Ali Pantami, Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, and Chairman, Diamond/Innovation/Change Sub-Committee, Nigeria @60 Inter-ministerial Committee.
The theme of the celebration is “Together at 60.”
“As the saying goes, we are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.
“The Federal Government, therefore, wants to use this opportunity to celebrate our strength as one indivisible country.
“It also provides an 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.
“The Sub Committee of the Inter-ministerial Committee came up with a challenge in which they are looking for talented, critical thinking and creative individuals or teams to produce the slogan, photograph, and a poem for Nigerians to mark the country’s 60th Anniversary, from 1st October 2020 to 30th December 2021,” Pantami said in the statement.
The best brand and concept will be presented to President Muhammadu Buhari and will be used in celebrating Nigeria’s 60th Anniversary.
The winners will also receive prizes, in addition to being part of this epoch-making event.
“As the country eagerly awaits the unveiling of the winning brand and other elements of the celebration, we look forward to the active participation of all,” the Minister said.
