[email protected][1]: How we Selected Best
Logo for Diamond Jubilee Challenge- Pantami
As part of Federal Government’s initiative of having an
inclusive Diamond Jubilee Celebration, President Muhammadu Buhari,
GCFR, yesterday launched and unveiled the anniversary logo that was
earlier presented to the public virtually.
It may be recalled that a Press Statement was released by the
Diamond/Innovation/Change Challenge Sub-Committee of the Nigeria
@60 Inter-Ministerial Committee, on Friday 4th September, 2020,
calling for the active participation of Nigerians in voting for the
preferred logo as well as the design of the creative aspects of the
event.
We are pleased to note that many Nigerians contributed to the
Challenge. Four Logos were made available to the public, on the
Challenge Portal – https://nigeriaAt60.gov.ng. Analysis of the
results revealed that the winning logo attracted 44.9% of the total
votes cast. The first runner up received 23.2% of the votes while
the second runner up attracted 22% of the votes.
The Diamond Jubilee Logo, to be found on the Challenge Portal,
depicts our togetherness, a country of approximately 200 million
people whose natural talent, grit and passion glitter together like
the precious diamond that we are. It is a clear illustration of the
saying “…we are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are
divided.”
Mr President, while unveiling the Anniversary Logo, appreciated
Nigerians for their active participation. He also reiterated
Federal Government’s commitment in ensuring that citizens are
actively involved in the development and implementation of
Government policies, programmes and projects.
We want to also inform the general public, especially those who
participated in the Challenge by submitting their entries for the
Anniversary Slogan, Poem and Photograph, that selection process for
these aspects of the Challenge is still ongoing and results will be
announced as soon as the process is complete.
We thank Nigerians for making it possible to realise the goal of
the Challenge.
