The Savannah Centre for Diplomacy, Democracy and Development held a one-day Maiden Democracy Day Discourse on the 22 June, 2021 to discuss twenty-two years of democracy in Nigeria. This anniversary, as in every other in the past, Nigerians have had the cause to interrogate its democratic system mostly through public lectures, conferences peaceful protests on the streets. All these aim at improving the democratic governance in Nigeria. The Centre chose to bring together scholars and practitioners to examine the state of Nigeria's adherence to democratic tenets since the return to democracy in 1999. The theme for the discourse was “Developing Good Governance in a  network Society”.
