October 1st: Celebrating Nigerian Independence in the UK
The petition titled "October 1st: Celebrating Nigerian Independence in the UK" urges the Parliament to officially recognise October 1st as Nigerian Independence Day within the United Kingdom.
This bill seeks to honor the contributions and identities of Nigerian citizens and descendants residing in the UK.
This recognition would symbolise the rich cultural heritage and historical significance of Nigeria to its citizens residing in the UK, fostering a sense of belonging and unity within the Nigerian community.
It is about embracing diversity, fostering unity, and promoting mutual respect among all communities, thereby strengthening the social cohesion and inclusivity of the United Kingdom.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for designating specific days.
We could accept a petition calling for a new bank holiday, if that's what you'd like.
