Prof. Tachi further stated that over the past 27 years, Nigeria has recorded significant progress in democratic consolidation, institutional growth, infrastructural development, and socio-economic advancement across various sectors.

He noted that successive administrations at both federal and state levels have contributed to strengthening democratic ideals, while also laying foundations for sustainable development and improved service delivery to the people.

The former Commissioner commended Farmer Governor Mohammed Umar Bago for aligning with the principles of democracy through people-oriented policies and inclusive governance, which continue to transform Niger State under the New Niger Agenda.

He also applauded Nigerlites for their unwavering support, patience, and commitment to democratic values, urging them to remain steadfast in upholding peace, unity, and active civic engagement.

Prof. Tachi called on leaders at all levels to deepen democratic practices by ensuring transparency, accountability, and responsiveness to the needs of the people, stressing that good governance remains the cornerstone of a thriving democracy.

He concluded by reaffirming his optimism in Nigeria’s democratic future, expressing confidence that with collective effort, the nation will continue to grow stronger, more united, and more prosperous in the years ahead.
