Speaking at a press conference in Bauchi, NOA Director General Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu emphasized the campaign’s importance in addressing diminishing patriotism and loyalty.
“We must prioritize promoting unity and shared values,” Issa-Onilu stated. “It’s time to rebuild citizens’ sense of duty to Nigeria.”

“Let us sing the National Anthem with pride, recognizing it as a call to action for building a united, peaceful, and prosperous Nigeria.”
