The students are their third term in Nigeria's primary and secondary schools and this term is always filled with many holidays.

The number of holidays that children always take during the third term have always worried the parents over times and this lead the parents to asking questions about the authenticity of some holidays including June 12 holiday.

In the third term alone, kids have taken Workers' Day Holliday on May 1st , Children's Day Holiday on May 27th, Eld l Adha Holidays on June 6th and 9th.

Nigerians will also take another important holiday on June 12th and the holiday is the Democracy Day.

Recall that some years ago, Democracy Day was celebrated on May 29th, being the date Nigerian fourth Republic President Olusegun Obasanjo and other elected Executive Office holders were sworn in in 1999.

Immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari towards the end of his eight years tenure as Nigerian President declared June 12th Nigeria's Befitting Democracy Day in respect of late Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola.

Recall that MKO Abiola was elected winner of the 1993 presidential election and his victory was cut short as then Head of States, Gen Ibrahim Babangida nullified the election. Hence choose to fight for the restoration of his duly given mandate, along which he lost his life while in prison.

To honour Abiola's mandate and accord him the honour he deserved, June 12th, the date he was elected President of Nigeria was declared Nigeria's New Democracy Day.

Therefore, it is important to know that June 12, every year is a public holiday, Democracy Day replacing May 29th, in Nigeria and no worker is expected at work except those who are on the frontline of medical/security service.
