President Bola Tinubu will address the nation at 7 am on Thursday as part of activities to mark the 2025 Democracy Day celebration.
Tinubu will also attend a joint session of the National Assembly at the National Assembly complex in Abuja.
The Inter-Ministerial Committee on Democracy Day said this in a statement on Wednesday.
Abdulhakeem Adeoye, who issued the statement on behalf of the committee’s Director, Information & Public Relations, said Tinubu will, after his address, attend a joint session of the National Assembly at noon.
However, Adeoye said there will be no Democracy Day parade. Later in the day, there will be a “Public lecture on Democracy Day celebration at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja. Time: 4 pm,” the statement read.
The theme of the lecture is “Consolidating on the Gains of Nigeria’s Democracy: Necessity of Enduring Reforms”.
The 2025 Democracy Day celebration will be the third since President Tinubu assumed office in 2023, after winning a highly contested poll earlier that year.
Despite 26 years of unhindered democracy in Nigeria, critics are questioning the country’s democratic values.
