63rd Independence Day: FG Ignores World Leaders, Insist On Low-Key Celebration

Federal Government on Monday, said no world leader had been invited for the 63rd independence anniversary scheduled for October 1.

VerseNews reports that the government said the decision was taken in line with its option for a low-key celebration.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, stated this during a press conference in Abuja.

He said, “Low keyed celebration has nothing to do with whether we’re not doing well. Economic times are hard, we are looking at it not just at the national level but also as a family. We have not invited world leaders.

“During the inauguration of the President 53 world leaders were invited, so we have not invited any world leader. The report of the investigator for CBN will soon be ready for the public.”
