The event highlighted Nigeria’s remarkable journey to independence and inspired students to appreciate the values of freedom, unity, and national pride.

The day began with an immersive historical learning session, where students explored key moments in Nigeria’s path to freedom — discovering the resilience, courage, and leadership that shaped the nation. Faculty members guided discussions, helping students connect history with present-day lessons in civic responsibility and nation-building.

Following the educational program, the celebration transitioned into a colorful display of Nigerian culture.
