What a great way to start saving some huge money for the Country.
Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan has divulged that Nigerians would continue to witness low key independence anniversary till 2014 when there would be an extravagant carnival.
The President made the disclosure at a Press Conference in Urugwiro Village, Rwandan Presidential Villa, shortly before he concluded a two-day visit to Rwanda.
According to him, 'Nigeria's independence anniversary in 2012 and 2013 would not be different from the low key celebration of Nigeria's 51st independence anniversary last Saturday, October 1, just as the 2014 independence anniversary would be merged with centenary celebration to mark 100 years of amalgamation at the twilight of his administration on May 2015.
The Federal Government had opted for a low key celebration of Nigeria's 51st independence anniversary at the forecourt of the President's office in the Presidential Villa instead of the Eagle Square which had been the venue of major national events.
Huhuonline.com sources say that 'The Government had insisted that the low key celebration was to cut cost having spent huge amount of money on Nigeria's 50th independence anniversary celebration as well as the inauguration ceremony of the President and Governors of the 36 States in less than one year.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, denied that the low key celebration was due to threats by the violent Islamic Sect, Boko Haram and the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) to bomb the Eagle Square on the day of the celebration.
Whether its the Fear of Bombing or whatever Thank GOD that at least those who have always used this as an avenue to wealth can only just get a little chunk of Our Money this time.
