Presidency Launches New Initiative to Reach Citizens at the Grassroots

the Presidency has launched a new initiative to empower vulnerable citizens through community engagement, with a focus on grassroots development and humanitarian growth.

 

The initiative is to bridge the gap between the government and local communities as well as ensure that citizens are aware of government policies, programs and projects that can improve their lives.

 

It might interest you to know that President BOLA TINUBU recently established the Presidential Community Engagement Office, which is primarily set up to cater for the interest of the poor and vulnerable.

 

Speaking to journalists during the launch of the South West Initiative For Transformation (SWIFT) Project, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement (Southwest), MOREMI OJUDU said the office will serve as a super facilitator between government agencies and local communities.

 

The presidential aide explained that the empowerment initiative will focus on five key areas: agriculture, education, enterprise development, health, and primary healthcare restoration.

BREAKING: “Nigeria We Hail Thee” Returns as National Anthem

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assented to the National Anthem Bill 2024 reverting to the old national anthem, “Nigeria, we hail thee”.

“This morning, Mr President signed into an Act of Parliament, the newly passed National Anthem 2024,” Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, said on Wednesday at a joint session of the National Assembly marking the Silver Jubilee Of Nigeria’s 4th Republic. The occasion coincided with the first anniversary of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Tinubu, who later joined the joint session, confirmed ‘Nigeria, we hail thee’ as the “latest national anthem”.

Akpabio said the sitting was primarily to launch the new national anthem, explaining that the President would not be making a speech because he has to leave to launch the Abuja metro line.

Following the signing of the bill by the President to reintroduce the old national anthem, the joint sitting jettisoned what has been in existence since 1978, to adopt the former (and newly signed) national anthem ‘Nigeria, we hail thee’. The President and Lawmakers jointly recited the old national anthem at the National Assembly, at 12,48 pm.

The old anthem, “Nigeria, we hail thee”, composed when Nigeria gained independence on October 1, 1960, has replaced the “Arise, O Compatriots” anthem.
