The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has issued guidelines on the correct rendition and recitation of Nigeria’s national anthem and pledge during official and public events
In a notice shared on its official X account on Friday, the agency urged Nigerians to “kindly take note of the correct protocol for the rendition and recitation of the National Anthem and Pledge.”
The notice stated that only the first stanza of the anthem should be sung or recited at regular official events, while the third stanza is to be performed as the National Prayer at the start of such occasions.
“All three stanzas are to be sung or recited only on special national occasions such as Independence Day, Presidential Inauguration, Armed Forces Remembrance Day, Democracy (June 12) Day, and the Inauguration of the National Assembly,” the agency added.
