A joint session of the Senate and the House of Representatives sang the reinstated National Anthem of Nigeria for the first time on Wednesday after it was signed into law by President Bola Tinubu.

President Tinubu, on Wednesday, signed the National Anthem Bill 2024 into law.

The final assent to the bill brings about a shift from the now-recognised, “Arise O Compatriots.” to “Nigeria, We Hail Thee.”

The lyrics of the official national anthem of Nigeria.

“Nigeria we hail thee
Our own dear native land
Though tribes and tongues may differ
In brotherhood, we stand
Nigerians all, are proud to serve
Our sovereign Motherland.

“Our flag shall be a symbol
That truth and justice reign
In peace or battle, honour’d,
And this we count as gain,
To hand on to our children
A banner without stain.

“O God of all creation
Grant this our one request.
Help us to build a nation
Where no man is oppressed
And so with peace and plenty
Nigeria may be blessed.”
