The Senate passed the bill on Tuesday while the House of Representatives passed it last Thursday.

President Bola Tinubu has signed into law the bill to revert to the old national anthem.

President Tinubu approved the bill on Wednesday morning, aligning with constitutional provisions to enact it.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio revealed this while addressing lawmakers at the ongoing joint session of the National Assembly.

The bill aims to reinstate the anthem used at the country’s independence on October 1, 1960, which was replaced in 1978 by the Olusegun Obasanjo military regime.

The Senate passed the bill on Tuesday, and the House of Representatives passed it last Thursday.

In his address at the joint session, the Senate President urged Nigerians to familiarize themselves with the old national anthem.

The old national anthem was sung upon President Tinubu’s arrival in the House chamber for the joint session.
