As a a new National Anthem was signed into law, the National Orientation Agency (NOA) has stated that a standardised version of the anthem will be issued by the Agency after a stakeholders meeting.
This was disclosed by Director General of the Agency, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu.
“Our Community Orientation and mobilization officers (COMOS) whom we ordered to learn the new national anthem have come up with a feedback that many of our people are eager to learn and promote the new anthem but are confused which of the ones they find online is the correct version. They have asked questions about which of the stanzas is the national prayer.” He said.
According to the DG, government agencies and institutions who seek to play the anthem at their functions should revert to the Orientation Agency for the official copy of the new Anthem.
