Gatekeepers News reports that the bill, which was passed on Tuesday, now awaits assent into law by President Bola Tinubu.
The old anthem, which was introduced in 1960, was replaced with the current one, “Arise, O Compatriots”, in 1978.
The move to revert to the old anthem has been met with mixed reactions, with some Nigerians hailing the decision as a return to the country’s rich cultural heritage, while others have expressed concerns about the implications of such a change.
“I love the old anthem, it brings back memories of my childhood,” said one Twitter user.
“But do we really need to change it now? Can’t we focus on more important things?” asked another tweeted.
