Unity & Faith, Peace & Progress – Celebrating Nigeria's 64th Independence Day

This artwork commemorates Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day, which marks the country’s liberation from British colonial rule on October 1st, 1960. It embodies Nigeria’s national slogan: “Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress.” Using the Nigerian currency as a central symbol, the piece captures the diversity of ethnic groups within the country. The currency notes feature notable Nigerian figures and cultural motifs, creatively representing the shared national identity, history, and heritage.
