The annual lecture, organised by NILDS, aims to foster an in-depth discussion among key stakeholders and experts to reflect on Nigeria's democracy and the state of the nation.
Former INEC chair, Attahiru Jega, is one of the keynote speakers listed for a Democracy Day lecture organised by the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies.
Aside from Mr Jega, a professor, who will moderate the event, speakers expected to deliberate on the topic are the Director General of the Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research, Anthonia Simbine, a professor and former vice-chancellor of the University of Abuja, Nuhu Yaqub.
Mr Sulaiman, a professor, highlighted the potential threats posed by ethnic and religious politics to the consolidation of democracy, citing examples such as the Rwanda Genocide and the war in Burundi, which resulted in extensive human casualties.
