The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), has joined millions of Nigerians in commemorating the 2025 Democracy Day, a day set aside to honour those who fought for democratic governance in the country.

In a statement to commemorate the day, the Executive Secretary of the Commission, Dr Tony Ojukwu, said, “As we mark 26 years of uninterrupted democracy, we reflect on our journey and reaffirm our commitment to justice, equality, peace, and human dignity.”

He said the NHRC has made significant strides in advancing democracy, including mobilising voters for elections and promoting citizen participation.

According to him, the Commission has also continued to monitor elections to ensure compliance with human rights standards, working tirelessly to promote free, fair, and credible polls.
