In a statement released on Wednesday, the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Prince Dotun Oyelade, detailed that each composer will also receive a parcel of land and have streets named in their honor. Additionally, the Ministry of Information and Orientation plans to produce a documentary exploring the history behind the anthem.

Furthermore, the council supported the reinstatement of 47 civil servants who were wrongfully dismissed under the previous administration. In total, 124 workers dismissed in 2012 have received pardons, while 823 workers laid off due to fraudulent certificate submissions will remain dismissed. The council also approved the termination of 180 workers who were hired in the final days of the previous administration in 2019.
