On Nigeria’s 25th anniversary of Democracy Day, it is acknowledged that the country has made progress across various sectors. However, disturbing challenges demand immediate action. 

The government’s oversight on issues such as human rights abuses, economic growth, national security, and infrastructural enhancements is no longer tenable. Addressing these issues is imperative for ensuring the nation’s enduring stability and continued prosperity.

  1. Human Rights Violations: The Nigerian government has failed to ensure respect for human rights and the rule of law. Amnesty International has documented numerous human rights violations, including extrajudicial executions, enforced disappearances, arbitrary arrests, and incommunicado detention. The government must investigate these violations and bring suspected perpetrators to justice.
  2. Fuel Subsidy Removal: The removal of fuel subsidies has led to increased fuel costs, causing economic hardship for millions of Nigerians. The government must implement transparent and well-structured reforms to ensure that the funds from the fuel subsidy program are used effectively.
  3. Local Governance: Local governments in Nigeria have financial autonomy but are severely disempowered due to corruption, weak institutions, and oversights. The government must ensure transparency and accountability in local governance to revive local governments and improve the delivery of social services.
  4. Security and Insecurity: The Nigerian military has committed gross human rights violations in the northeast, and the government must investigate these violations and bring suspected perpetrators to justice. The government must also address rising insecurity in the southeast and other regions.
  5. Economic Development: Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, but the majority of its citizens live below the national poverty line. The government must implement reforms to ensure that the country’s mineral riches are utilized efficiently and that the economy is developed to improve the quality of life for its citizens.
  6. Youth Empowerment: The upcoming elections are important for young people, who make up a large portion of the population. The government must address youth empowerment and ensure that young people are able to fully participate in the political process.
  7. Displacement and Enfranchisement: The conflict in the northeast has led to the displacement of over 240,000 Nigerians, and many of them will not be able to vote in the upcoming elections. The government must address the issue of displacement and ensure that all citizens are able to exercise their right to vote.
  8. Corruption: Corruption is a big challenge in Nigeria, and the government must address it to ensure good governance and transparency. The government must also ensure that the funds from the fuel subsidy program are not diverted to corrupt activities.
  9. Education and Healthcare: The delivery of social services, including education and healthcare, is inadequate in Nigeria. The government must address these issues to improve the quality of life for its citizens.
  10. Elections and Political Stability: The upcoming elections are essential for Nigeria’s political stability. The government must ensure that the elections are free and fair and that the results are accepted by all parties involved.
  11. Infrastructure Development: Nigeria’s infrastructure is in a state of disrepair, with poor road conditions, inadequate power supply, and limited access to clean water. The government must invest in infrastructure development to improve the quality of life for its citizens.
  12. Environmental Protection: Nigeria’s environment is under threat due to pollution, deforestation, and climate change. The government must take steps to protect the environment and ensure sustainable development.
  13. Food Security: Nigeria is facing a food security crisis due to poor agricultural practices, climate change, and inadequate storage facilities. The government must invest in agriculture and ensure food security for its citizens.
  14. Energy and Power: Nigeria has an energy crisis due to inadequate power supply and poor distribution. The government must invest in energy and power infrastructure to improve the quality of life for its citizens.
  15. Transportation: Nigeria’s transportation system is inadequate, with poor road conditions, limited public transportation, and inadequate airport facilities. The government must invest in transportation infrastructure to improve the quality of life for its citizens.
  16. Housing and Urban Development: Nigeria’s housing sector is in a state of crisis due to inadequate housing stock, poor living conditions, and limited access to affordable housing. The government must invest in housing and urban development to improve the quality of life for its citizens.
  17. Disaster Management: Nigeria is prone to natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes. The government must invest in disaster management and preparedness to minimize the impact of these disasters.
  18. Social Welfare: Nigeria has a large population of vulnerable groups, including the elderly, children, and people with disabilities. The government must invest in social welfare programs to improve the quality of life for these groups.
  19. Public Health: Nigeria is facing a public health crisis due to inadequate healthcare facilities, poor sanitation, and limited access to healthcare services. The government must invest in public health to improve the quality of life for its citizens.
  20. Water and Sanitation: Nigeria has inadequate access to clean water and sanitation facilities, leading to water-borne diseases and poor hygiene. The government must invest in water and sanitation infrastructure to improve the quality of life for its citizens.
  21. Waste Management: Nigeria is facing a waste management crisis due to inadequate waste disposal facilities and poor waste management practices. The government must invest in waste management infrastructure to improve the quality of life for its citizens.
  22. Tourism and Cultural Heritage: Nigeria has a rich cultural heritage and tourism potential, but the government must invest in tourism infrastructure and cultural preservation to promote tourism and cultural exchange.
  23. Research and Development: Nigeria must invest in research and development to improve its economic competitiveness and address its development challenges. The government must establish research institutions and provide funding for research projects.
  24. Digital Economy: Nigeria must invest in the digital economy to improve its economic competitiveness and address its development challenges. The government must establish digital infrastructure and provide funding for digital projects.
  25. Good Governance: Good governance is essential for Nigeria’s development and stability. The government must ensure transparency, accountability, and the rule of law to improve the quality of life for its citizens.

As Nigeria marks a quarter-century of democracy day in governance, the nation is at a crossroads. The 25 important needs and areas outlined are not just policy points; they are urgent aspects that the Nigerian government must heed to safeguard the nation’s democratic principles and enhance a thriving, equitable society.
