Mr Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federal, on Friday unveiled the 2019 National Democracy Day Exhibition with a call on Nigerians to reawaken their consciousness on the country’s rich heritage.

He called for collective efforts to exploit the resources with a view to moving the country on the path of prosperity, unity and progress.

The SGF said that the unveiling of the exhibition was part of the activities lined up for the 2019 National Democracy Day celebration to showcase the political and cultural history of Nigeria.

“The exhibition with the theme, unbroken democracy takes us back to memory lane on our political struggles and eventual freedom from the British Colonial masters.

“I believe that this will reawaken the minds and consciousness of Nigerians to educate our young ones about the founding fathers of our great nation.
