Akume told reporters in Abuja on Monday that President Bola Tinubu approved a low-key celebration in line with the current economic realities. The theme of the anniversary is “Nigeria @ 63, Renewed Hope for Unity and Prosperity.” “No world leaders have been invited. This celebration is low-key as I said due to the realities on ground. We’ve not invited foreign leaders. Time would come that we would gather world leaders to celebrate with us. But for now, none,” Akume said.
The SGF promised that the administration, which took office in May, was still young and that Nigerians would soon see the implementation of policies and execution of projects.
