The Federal Government has in line with the Covid-19 protocols and guidelines approved an inclusive National Independence Celebration programmme to mark the country’s 60th independence celebration.
To this end, the Sub Committee of the Inter-ministerial Committee on the Diamond Jubilee Celebration is looking for talented, critical thinking and creative individuals or teams to produce the slogan, photograph, and a poem for Nigerians to mark the event.
A statement by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami, who doubles as Chairman, Diamond/Innovation/Change Sub-Committee, Nigeria @60 Inter-ministerial Committee, which disclosed this, said the move will ensure inclusiveness of all Nigerians in the project.
“The thematic and creative aspects of the event would be designed by Nigerians for Nigeria. 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. Also provide 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 statement read in part.
It also advised Nigerians to vote for the best brand and participate in the challenge by visiting the challenge portal: https://nigeriaAt60.gov.ng.
According to the statement, the best brand and concept will be presented to President Muhammadu Buhari and will be used in celebrating Nigeria’s 60th anniversary, while the winners will also receive prizes, in addition to being part of this epoch-making event.
