Princess Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire says Nigeria’s uninterrupted democracy since 1999 has provided the foundation for advancing the Sustainable Development Goals.

In marking Democracy Day, she congratulated President Tinubu, former leaders and Nigerians for preserving civilian rule. She noted that the Renewed Hope Agenda aligns with the 2030 SDGs through interventions in livelihoods, social protection, infrastructure, food security and opportunities for young people and women.
