The Federal Government has announced the official theme for the nation’s 2025 Independence Day celebrations as “All Hands on Deck for a Greater Nation.”
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Director of Information and Public Relations in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), Segun Imohiosen, said the theme underscores the importance of unity, collaboration, and patriotism among government institutions, the private sector, civil society, and citizens in advancing peace, prosperity, and national progress.
Imohiosen explained that the theme reflects Nigeria’s resilience since gaining independence in 1960, noting that it aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda, which seeks to consolidate past achievements while pursuing greater national goals.

He added that government agencies and partners have been directed to align their programmes with the anniversary theme to ensure its resonance across all aspects of national life.
As part of activities lined up for the 65th Independence anniversary, a Juma’at prayer will hold on Friday, September 26, followed by an inter-denominational church service on Sunday, September 28.
A World Press Conference is also scheduled for Monday, September 29, in Abuja.
