The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has strengthened its efforts to ensure a peaceful and trouble-free commemoration of the country’s 61st anniversary of independence on October 1.

During a tour of the city in preparation for the National Day events, Chukwuma Nwaji, an Assistant Director in the Protocol Department, said the decorations were done to promote a sense of national consciousness in FCT inhabitants and to underline the value of a united Nigeria.
“The national emblems serve as a very strong reminder of the essence of a virile and indivisible nation,” according to Nwaji.

As a result, the symbols foster a sense of nationhood and serve as a reminder of Nigeria’s glory.’
