The Federal Government has unveiled the official theme for Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day celebrations: “Nigeria @ 65: All Hands on Deck for a Greater Nation.”
Segun Imohiosen, Director of Information and Public Relations in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), announced this in a statement issued Wednesday in Abuja.
According to him, the theme underscores the urgent need for unity, collaboration, and patriotism among all stakeholders — from government institutions and the private sector to civil society and citizens — to drive peace, prosperity, and national development.

He added that the choice of theme reflects Nigeria’s resilience since gaining independence in 1960, while also aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which seeks to consolidate past achievements and pursue greater goals for the nation.
Government agencies and partners have been directed to integrate the theme into their activities to ensure its message resonates across the country.
As part of events marking the 65th Independence anniversary, a special Juma’at prayer will hold on Friday, September 26, followed by an interdenominational church service on Sunday, September 28. A world press conference is also scheduled for Monday, September 29, in Abuja.
