In a significant move to celebrate Nigeria’s democratic milestones, the Federal Government has pledged its full support for a documentary highlighting the nation’s 25 years of uninterrupted democracy. The announcement was made by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, during a meeting with leaders of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) on Friday in Abuja.

The documentary, an initiative spearheaded by IPAC, will chronicle Nigeria’s democratic evolution since 1999, celebrating its achievements, addressing its challenges, and drawing lessons for the future. Minister Idris praised the project as a crucial historical record that will honor the nation’s political trailblazers and showcase its democratic progress.

“I commend IPAC and its leadership for their unwavering commitment to strengthening democracy, and for choosing the powerful medium of film to document this important chapter in our history. This documentary will serve as a lasting tribute to our political heroes and a testament to Nigeria’s democratic resilience. The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Information and National Orientation, is proud to support this initiative,” Idris stated.

The Minister also highlighted the importance of unity and collaboration among political parties beyond election cycles, emphasizing that democracy thrives on constructive engagement and a shared commitment to national development. He reiterated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s belief in healthy political competition and his focus on fostering unity and progress for the nation.

“President Tinubu’s administration is committed to promoting healthy political competition, as democracy flourishes when there is constructive opposition and collaboration in the national interest. While elections naturally bring competition, it is essential for political parties to come together afterward to build a stronger nation. President Tinubu, a true democrat, values both competition and unity in equal measure,” Idris added.

IPAC National Chairman, Honourable Yusuf Dantalle, provided details about the documentary, noting that it will spotlight Nigeria’s advancements in infrastructure, healthcare, education, and social cohesion over the past 25 years. He emphasized that the project is designed to educate and inspire younger generations, particularly Gen Z, about Nigeria’s democratic journey.

“This documentary is not just a historical record but also an educational tool for the younger generation. It will feature some of Nollywood’s finest talents and be produced using cutting-edge technology to meet global standards of quality and impact. Our goal is to create a unifying narrative that reflects Nigeria’s democratic evolution and inspires future leaders,” Dantalle explained.

The IPAC delegation included key figures such as Dipo Olayokun, Deputy National Chairman; Chief Dan Nwayanwu, Council Member; and Maxwell Mgbudem, National Secretary, among others.

The Federal Government’s endorsement of this documentary underscores its dedication to preserving Nigeria’s democratic heritage and inspiring citizens to uphold the values of unity, progress, and inclusivity. The project is poised to become a landmark production, capturing the essence of Nigeria’s democratic journey and its aspirations for a brighter future.

Running a business in Nigeria isn’t just about providing quality products or services; it’s also about making sure you get paid on time. Too often, business owners find themselves chasing payments, sending repeated reminders, and struggling with cash flow gaps. According to a PwC report, 48% of Nigerian SMEs experience delayed payments, which can disrupt operations, affect salaries, and slow down business growth.

But the real cost of these delays isn’t just the stress of waiting—it’s the uncertainty it creates. Businesses struggle to plan ahead, restock inventory, pay workers, or even keep the lights on. Without predictable payments, expansion is nearly impossible, and owners are left firefighting short-term financial struggles rather than focusing on growth.

If you’re tired of chasing customers for money, here are seven simple ways to ensure you get paid on time—without the stress. The seventh tip includes a newly unveiled tech tool.
