The Federal Government has announced the cancellation of the traditional military parade previously scheduled for the 26th Democracy Day celebrations on Thursday, June 12, 2025.
In a statement from the Inter-Ministerial Committee overseeing the event, it was revealed that President Bola Tinubu will address the nation in a live broadcast at 7 a.m. on Thursday.
The committee confirmed that the usual ceremonial parade will not take place this year.
Instead, President Tinubu is set to join a special joint session of the National Assembly at noon.
The session will focus on a comprehensive evaluation of Nigeria’s democratic development, the state of the nation, and discussions aimed at fostering unity and implementing meaningful reforms.
Later in the day, at 4 p.m., a public lecture will be hosted at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja.
The event is expected to bring together key government officials, political figures, and civil society representatives under the theme: “Consolidating on the Gains of Nigeria’s Democracy: Necessity of Enduring Reforms.”
In the official statement, citizens were encouraged to watch the president’s address and participate in the broader dialogue focused on fortifying the country's democratic institutions.
