In a goodwill message marking June 12 Democracy Day, Dr. Dimgba expressed confidence that Nigeria would overcome its current challenges and attain its full potential as the giant of Africa through unity of purpose, patriotism, and dedication.
According to a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Youth and Mobilisation, Elder ThankGod Akoma, the NDDC Commissioner described democracy as the bedrock of national unity, justice, good governance, and sustainable development.
He noted that Democracy Day serves as a reminder of the resilience of the Nigerian people and the enduring value of participatory governance.
