Mark your calendars, as the countdown to the 2025 Commonwealth Day is officially on! The Nigerian federal government has launched an exciting series of activities designed to celebrate this important occasion, with the central theme for this year being “Together We Thrive.” This theme beautifully encapsulates the spirit of unity and resilience found among the 56 Commonwealth nations, as they collectively strive for peace and prosperity.
Dr. Marufu Adetunji Alausa, Nigeria’s Minister of Education, made the announcement during a press briefing in Abuja. He urged state ministries of education and the Universal Basic Education Boards to actively involve all basic and secondary schools across the country in the celebrations. “This commemoration serves as a platform to amplify voices for collaborative learning, fostering knowledge, innovation, and sustainable development,” he emphasized, highlighting the initiative’s broader educational goals.
The main event is slated for Monday, March 10, 2025, with an invitation extended to diplomats from Commonwealth member states through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This year’s celebration promises to be a vibrant affair, showcasing the richness of Commonwealth cultures through student presentations and activities that promote awareness and critical thinking.
In preparation, students from select schools within the Federal Capital Territory are currently rehearsing for a grand parade featuring the flags of Commonwealth nations. This colorful procession will see students donning traditional attires that represent various countries, offering a stunning visual tribute to the diversity and harmony among member nations.
This upcoming Commonwealth Day is not just a ceremonial event; it’s an opportunity for Nigerian youth to deepen their understanding of global citizenship and collaboration. By participating in these activities, students will engage in a fun learning experience that connects them with their peers from around the world, reinforcing the values of unity and diversity.
