President Bola Tinubu has mandated recitation of the National Pledge after the National Anthem at every official and public engagement.
According to Presidential Spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, the directive is aimed at ensuring absolute respect for the national symbols, strengthen allegiance and fidelity to country, and to preserve Nigeria’s ethos and defining character.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony of the 3,112 housing-unit Renewed Hope City at Karsana, Abuja, on Thursday, the President emphasised the imperativeness of respecting national values, promoting the nation’s ideals, and abiding by its established norms.
