Nigerians Still Trapped By Poverty, Insecurity, Abuses Despite 27 Years Of Democratic Rule — RULAAC

Nigerian rights group RULAAC says 27 years of civilian rule (since 1999) have failed to lift millions from poverty, insecurity, corruption and human rights abuses, questioning whether democracy has delivered on its promises. Democracy's success should be measured not by elections alone but by tangible improvements in citizens' lives, protection of rights, and institutional accountability—metrics Nigeria is currently failing across the board.
