National Orientation Agency Seeks Approval for New National Prayer
The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has announced its intention to seek approval for a new national prayer. However, the existing national pledge will remain valid and operational.
During the unveiling of the standardized version of the reintroduced national anthem in Abuja, NOA’s Director General, Lanre Issa-Onilu, clarified that the agency would follow official procedures to obtain approval for adopting a new national prayer.
The NOA’s values orientation programs, aligned with the Federal Government’s National Values Charter, aim to define the shared identity of Nigerian citizens, emphasizing the commitment of both leaders and followers.
In the standardized version of the reintroduced national anthem, only one word was changed. The word “and” in line five of the first stanza was corrected to “are,” resulting in the official line reading, “Nigerians all, are proud to serve”.
