The bill to play the previous national anthem again has been passed into law by President Bola Tinubu.

As part with the constitutional stipulations, President Tinubu signed the proposal on Wednesday morning, making it a law.

This was revealed by Senate President Godswill Akpabio to lawmakers during the present National Assembly joint session.

The law aims to replace the existing song with the one that was first established on October 1, 1960, to mark the country’s independence, but was altered by the military administration of Olusegun Obasanjo in 1978.
