The Federal Government has declared Monday June 12 public holiday in commemoration of the 2023 Democracy Day celebration.

A statement by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Dr Oluwatoyin Akinlade, said Nigeria’s democratic journey had, like in many other climes, encountered both stormy and smooth sails, but the ship of state, its institutions and most importantly, Nigerians had remained steadfast on the tenets of democratic governance.

“On this memorable occasion therefore, Nigerians and friends of Nigeria are invited to appreciate the progress that has been made to celebrate the milestones covered and look forward to a better future for the country’s democracy,” she said.
