The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has issued a public reminder outlining the correct protocol for rendering Nigeria’s National Anthem and reciting the National Pledge during official and public events.

According to the directive, only the first stanza of the National Anthem should be sung or recited at all official functions, while the third stanza—designated as the National Prayer—should be rendered at the beginning of such events.

The agency further clarified that all three stanzas of the anthem are to be performed only during major national ceremonies such as Independence Day, Presidential Inauguration, Armed Forces Remembrance Day, Democracy Day, and the Inauguration of the National Assembly.

It also stated that the National Pledge should always be recited at the end of every event to reinforce national unity and uphold Nigeria’s shared values.

The NOA urged citizens, institutions, and event organizers to strictly follow these protocols to preserve the dignity and symbolism of Nigeria’s national identity.
