The Chairman-Elect of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Makurdi Branch, Mr. Joseph Gbagyo, says Nigeria’s democracy is making progress despite the numerous challenges facing the country.

Gbagyo stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Makurdi.

According to him, 27 years after Nigeria’s return to democratic rule in 1999, the country has recorded significant gains, particularly in sustaining peaceful transitions of power without military intervention.

The legal practitioner described the uninterrupted democratic experience as a major achievement and a sign of Nigeria’s political maturity.
