June 12 Declared Public Holiday for Democracy Day.
The FG has declared Thursday, June 12 a national public holiday to mark Democracy Day, celebrating 26 years of uninterrupted civilian rule in Nigeria.
The announcement came via a statement from Magdalene Ajani, Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Interior, on behalf of Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo. “June 12 represents our historic journey toward a nation of truth, justice, peace, and hope,” said Tunji-Ojo.
He praised Nigerians for their resilience over the past two decades and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to democratic values. This year’s observance comes under President Bola Tinubu’s administration, whose ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda promises economic revival, stronger governance, & deeper democratic roots.
Yet, even as the country celebrates, many citizens face tough realities—economic struggles, rising unemployment, insecurity, and corruption. The holiday offers a moment to reflect on how far Nigeria has come & how far it still has to go.
