In a last-minute change of decision, the presidency says President Muhammadu Buhari will no longer address the nation at the Eagles Square as earlier stated in a statement issued by the President’s media office.
An updated statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adeshina, said the President will now address the nation in a broadcast at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Thursday, October 1, 2020, at 7:00 am.
According to the statement, all television, radio, and other electronic media outlets are to hook up to network services of the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA, and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, FRCN, respectively for the address.
The statement added that President Buhari will thereafter proceed to the Eagle Square, Abuja to review the Anniversary Parade and participate in other activities beginning at 10:00 am, which will be covered live by major television and radio stations.
