Product Description

"Nigeria, We Hail Thee" was adopted as Nigeria's national anthem on 1 October 1960. The anthem's lyrics were written by Lillian Jean Williams, a British expatriate who lived in Nigeria when it achieved independence. Frances Benda composed the music for "Nigeria, We Hail Thee.'' The song was used as the national anthem until it was replaced by "Arise, O Compatriots" in 1978.

On 23 May 2024, the National Assembly passed a bill to relinquish "Arise, O Compatriots" replacing it with "Nigeria, We Hail Thee". The bill was signed into law by President Bola Tinubu on 29 May 2024.
