PHOTOS: Buhari unveils Nigeria @60 logo.
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday unveiled Nigeria’s 60th anniversary logo.
.
He pledged that his administration will continue to work towards greater inclusiveness.
.
The unveiling was held before the commencement of the 15th virtual meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) at the State House, Abuja.
.
Buhari described the logo as a product of choice from Nigerians who participated in the selection process.
.
The Nigerian leader noted that 60 years of independence calls for pomp and pageantry.
.
He, however, explained that the COVID-19 pandemic has also forced on the government and the country a low-keyed celebration.
.
“Operating within the limitations placed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we created an internet challenge for Nigerians to make a choice from a set of four pre-selected logos that will appropriately define the theme.
.
“Of these four options, Nigerians from all walks of life participated in making a choice and I’m happy to let you know that the logo I will be unveiling is a product of choice from the Nigerian people.
.
“I’m informed that the selected option depicts our togetherness; a country of over 200 million people, whose natural talents, grits and passion glitter like the precious diamond we are”, Buhari said.
