June 12 was adopted in 2018 by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria’s Democracy Day in honour of the winner of the June 12, 1993, election, Moshood Abiola.
In a statement, the organisers Tuesday released a list of designated locations where demonstrators are expected to gather.
This year’s commemoration marks 26-year uninterrupted democratic rule in the country.
The organisers said the protest is against hardship, insecurity and a “shrinking civic space” under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“In Abuja, protesters will assemble at Eagle Square by 8:00 a.m. In Lagos, there are four rally points: Badagry, Maryland, Agbara, and Toll Gate, all starting from 7:00 a.m.,” he said.

In the report, 79% of Lagos residents rated the city’s nightlife positively.
Lagos outperformed other prominent African cities including Cairo, Egypt, and Marrakech, Morocco, which took the 15th and 19th spots globally, respectively.
