To commemorate the 2025 Democracy Day, President Bola Tinubu is scheduled to deliver a nationwide broadcast on Thursday at 7am.
This was disclosed in a statement released on Wednesday by the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Democracy Day.
Abdulhakeem Adeoye, who signed the statement on behalf of the committee’s Director, Information & Public Relations, stated that following the address, the president will participate in a joint session of the National Assembly at noon.
The session is expected to include speeches about the State of the Nation, reflections on Nigeria’s democratic evolution, and calls for greater unity and reform across the country.
Later in the evening, a public lecture titled “Consolidating on the Gains of Nigeria’s Democracy: Necessity of Enduring Reforms” is set to take place at 4pm at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja.
In contrast to previous celebrations, there will be no Democracy Day parade this year.
