Anniversary of the proclamation of the Republic of Niger
Niger government material commemorates the Republic anniversary on 18 December. A 2023 Council of Ministers communiqué restored 3 August, Independence Day, as the country’s Fête Nationale, so 18 December should not be presented as the current National Day.
