FG, IPAC Partner on Documentary Chronicling 25 Years of Democracy

The Federal Government of Nigeria, through the Ministry of Information and National Orientation, in collaboration with the Inter-Party Advisory Council of Nigeria (IPAC), has unveiled plans for a documentary chronicling 25 years of uninterrupted democratic governance in the country.

National Chairman of IPAC, Yusuf Mamman Dantalle, announced the initiative on Friday, emphasizing its significance in showcasing Nigeria’s democratic journey.

Titled Unbroken: Two and a Half Decades – A Chronicle of 25 Years of Uninterrupted Democratic Governance in Nigeria, the documentary aims to highlight the resilience, progress, and democratic evolution of the nation since the inception of the Fourth Republic in 1999.

At a press conference held at the Ministry’s headquarters in Abuja, Dantalle, alongside the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris Malagi, underscored the role of political stakeholders in sustaining democracy.

According to Dantalle, the documentary will serve as a comprehensive, visually engaging account of Nigeria’s democratic governance from 1999 to 2024, capturing key milestones, challenges, and achievements.

“The film will explore Nigeria’s democratic resilience, from peaceful transitions of power to the consolidation of democratic values,” he said.

Featuring prominent actors and political figures—including past and present presidents, policymakers, civil society leaders, and international observers—the documentary will incorporate drama, interviews, archival footage, and expert analyses to depict Nigeria’s political, economic, and social transformation.

It will also highlight the contributions of the electorate, judiciary, media, and civil society in strengthening democracy.

Dantalle further noted that Unbroken would enhance Nigeria’s global democratic image by promoting good governance and democratic principles.
