The Nigeria Union of Traders Association in Ghana (NUTAG) says it is not deterred by the coronavirus pandemic to mark Nigeria’s 60th independence anniversary.
The President of NUTAG, Mr Chukwuemeka Nnaji, disclosed this in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Monday.
Nnaji spoke on the sideline of preparations for Oct. 1 independence celebrations.
According to him, many programmes have been lined-up by Nigerians in Ghana to mark Nigeria’s independence in line with COVID-19 protocols.
“With or without COVID-19, Nigerians and friends of Nigeria in different sectors of Ghana, are ready to celebrate Nigeria@60,’’ Nnaji said.
He listed an award ceremony of 60 most impactful Nigerians in Ghana as one of the events scheduled to hold on Oct. 3 as part of the anniversary.
“We always mark our independence in Ghana every year.
“Sixty years is special to the human race and as Nigerians, we are very unique when it comes to showcasing patriotism.’’
