The federal government has declared Thursday, June 12, 2025, as public holiday to commemorate this year’s democracy day celebration.
The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, who made the declaration on behalf of the federal government, congratulated Nigerians on this occasion of 26 years of an uninterrupted civil rule.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary of the Interior Ministry, Magdalene Ajani, and released on Sunday.
The statement quoted the minister as saying that “June 12 represents our historic journey to building a nation where truth and justice reign and peace is sustained and our future assured.
“The last 26 years tells the story of our resilience, strength and courage and a hope Renewed than ever.”
Noting that Democracy is sustained with open doors for further improvement, Tunji-Ojo reiterated the commitment of the Renewed Hope government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the universal value of democracy that is based on freely-expressed will of the people in determining Nigeria’s political, economic, social and cultural systems.
