The President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu has directed the mandatory recitation of the National Pledge after the National Anthem at official and public engagements.
Tinubu revealed that it would inspire Nigerians to respect national values, promote the nation’s ideals, and abide by its established norms.
He said recitation of the National Pledge would also ensure respect for the national symbols, strengthen allegiance and loyalty to the country, and preserve Nigeria’s ethos and defining character.
The president stated this at the groundbreaking ceremony of the 3,112 housing units in Abuja.
Tinubu said; “It is our pledge to Nigeria, our country, to be faithful, loyal, and honest. To serve Nigeria with all your strength. We saw it on the field of play by the Super Eagles.
“We were all rejoicing. All of us love victory. We love to win. When you are positive and you are hopeful, Nigeria is winning.
“We did not say it will be Eldorado and smooth all the way. But we are confident that this country will excel in all ramifications.
“We will defend our unity and uphold Nigeria’s glory in every way possible because we are Nigerians, and we have no other country,” he revealed.
The President therefore said; “Before I left home this morning, I asked for a printout of the National Pledge, and we have to relaunch it again at this event.” said Tinubu.
