The Federal Government has declared Monday, June 12 as a public holiday in commemoration of the 2023 Democracy Day celebration.
This was made known in a statement issued by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Oluwatoyin Akinlade, on Thursday.
While congratulating Nigerians on the occasion, Akinlade stated that the country’s democratic journey has encountered stormy and smooth sails, just like in many other climes.
The statement partly read: “But the ship of State, its institution, and most importantly, the Nigerian people have 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, celebrate the milestones covered, and look forward to a better future for the country’s democracy”.
