The Federal Government has inaugurated the Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) for the 2025 Independence Day Celebration vested with the mandate of planning, organising and executing all approved programmes to commemorate Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary.

In his remarks, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Sen. George Akume, CON emphasised on the importance of unity, and patriotism in celebrating the victories and milestones Nigeria has attained. ‘‘This anniversary is a reminder of where we are coming from and where we are going from here. As a nation, we have faced challenges in areas such as political, economic and social issues but have overcome them. An anniversary is not just a celebration of the past. It is a call for action for the future. We must therefore commit ourselves to build a nation where every citizen feels valued and empowered to contribute his quota to the goals and aspirations of the country’’.

The 65th Independence Anniversary celebration will commence with the World Press Conference on Thursday, 25th September 2025 with the following line-up of activities to mark the national event: Juma’at Service on Friday, 26th September, 2025; Women Activities on Friday 26th September, 2025; Youth Activities and Historical Arts Exhibition on Saturday 27th September, 2025; Church Service on Sunday, 28th September 2025; Public Lecture on Monday, 29th September 2025; while the Presidential Broadcast and 65th Independence Day Parade will hold on Wednesday, 1st October 2025.

As part of the project to mark the independence anniversary, the SGF has unveiled the Nigeria @65 Compendium Project workstation, initiated by CherryAfrica Magazine in collaboration with the Office, designed with a state-of-the-art studio for interview-Tv Series with the top Government functionaries at all levels on their respective milestones in nation building, in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda. The interview session kick-started with the SGF’s interview, where he urged Nigerians to celebrate the nation’s achievements for the past 65 years and to also repose confidence in their leaders.

The national compendium would serve as a comprehensive repository of information on the nation’s milestones and development trajectory cutting across the pre-colonial, colonial and the post-colonial Nigeria with emphasis on the MDAs, the economy, the three tiers of Government, the Renewed Hope Agenda and other key sectors of the economy.
