Federal Government Cancels 65th Independence Day Parade

 

The customary Independence Day parade earlier scheduled to hold on Wednesday, October 1 has been cancelled.

 

The parade had been organised in celebration of Nigeria’s 65th anniversary.

 

In a statement signed by Segun Imohiosen, Director of Information and Public Relations, the government explained that the decision does not reduce the significance of the milestone, adding that other programmes lined up for the anniversary will still take place.

 

The statement also urged Nigerians to continue supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reforms, while expressing regret for any inconvenience the cancellation may cause.
