The Federal Govern­ment has declared Monday, May 29, 2017 as public holiday to celebrate the 2017 De­mocracy Day.

A statement from the Minister of Interior, Lt Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau (rtd), con­gratulated Nigerians for witnessing yet another Democracy Day, which marks the Second Year Anniversary of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Government.

He assures Nigerians of government’s con­tinued efforts towards guaranteeing security, revitalising the economy and tackling corruption which are the three main focused areas of this ad­ministration.

He averred that a lot have been achieved in the area of security and corruption as attested to by recent statistics re­leased by the National Bureau of Statistics in the country’s improved GDP, adding that the nation is closer to getting out of re­cession, particularly with the recently launched Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP), which seeks to revital­ise the nation’s economy soonest.

Dambazau, while wish­ing all Nigerians a Happy Democracy Day celebra­tion, said the recently signed Executive Orders on Ease of Doing Busi­ness have opened doors wider for both domestic and foreign investors and enjoins all to join hands with the government of President Buhari in his sustained efforts in build­ing a peaceful and endur­ing democratic legacy.
