President Muhammadu Buhari will broadcast to the nation on Thursday, October 1, 2020, at 7am, as part of activities commemorating the 60th independence anniversary of the country.
The Presidency had earlier released a statement that President Buhari would address the nation from Eagle Square after the Anniversary Parade.
In a revised statement, the Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity, Femi Adesina, enjoined all television, radio and other electronic media outlets are enjoined to hook up to network services of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN), respectively, for the address at 7am.
Adesina added, “The President will thereafter, proceed to the Eagle Square, Abuja to review the Anniversary Parade and participate in other activities beginning at 10am, which will be covered live by major television and radio stations.
“This updated statement supersedes our earlier one indicating an open-air live Presidential Address on October 1.”
