Lawal, in a statement made available to LEADERSHIP, called for more comprehensive electoral and constitution reforms to fortify Nigeria’s democratic foundations.

Shedding more light on their vital contributions to the nation’s democratic progress, he said: ā€œNigerian security agencies have played a crucial role in maintaining peace and security during elections, while the judiciary has been instrumental in upholding the principles of justice and accountability.ā€

On Nigeria’s democratic journey, he said: ā€œDemocracy is an ongoing journey; continuous efforts to improve and strengthen it are essential for the nation’s progress and stability.

ā€œAs Nigeria looks to the future, such reforms are necessary to address existing challenges, enhance transparency, and bolster the democratic system.

ā€œOpen and inclusive discussions are essential to ensure that these reforms align with the aspirations and needs of the Nigerian populace.ā€

Highlighting this year’s theme for the International Day of Democracy, ā€œEmpowering the next generation,ā€ which focuses on young people’s essential role in advancing democracy, Lawal noted: ā€œAs we celebrate the 2023 International Day of Democracy, we must reflect on this year’s theme: ā€˜Empowering the Next Generation.’

ā€œThis theme underscores the pivotal role that young people play in advancing and sustaining democracy for today and the future.

ā€œIn this regard, young people are not merely the future of democracy; they are an integral part of its present, and their involvement is essential for its continued growth and vitality.

ā€œThe younger generation’s energy, passion, and idealism infuse democracy with renewed vigour. They bring fresh ideas, innovative solutions, and a deep commitment to social justice and equality.

ā€œBy empowering young people to participate actively in the democratic process, we ensure the representation of their voices and concerns and enrich the quality of our democratic discourse.

ā€œEmpowering the next generation is more than just giving young people a seat at the table; it is about fostering an inclusive environment where their voices are heard, valued, and acted upon.

ā€œIt is about providing them with the tools and knowledge needed to engage meaningfully in the democratic process, from voting in elections to advocating for the changes they wish to see in their communities and countries.

ā€œAs we celebrate today, let us recommit ourselves to supporting and mentoring the young leaders and activists striving to make a difference.

“Let us invest in their education, mentorship, and leadership opportunities.

ā€œLet us ensure they have access to the information and resources required to become informed and engaged citizens. By doing so, we empower them and strengthen the foundations of democracy for generations to come.

ā€œLet us celebrate the incredible potential of young people and work together to build a brighter democratic future, one in which they can flourish and continue to champion the values that democracy represents. Happy International Day of Democracy!ā€
