Trust is democracy’s invisible currency, says Akpabio

Senate President Godswill Akpabio, in his address at the 153rd Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Arusha, Tanzania, emphasized the importance of trust as the "invisible currency" of democracy. He argued that democracy cannot endure without citizens feeling heard, included, and confident in their future. Akpabio identified inclusion, trust, and opportunity as the pillars of a democracy that delivers tangible benefits to citizens, stressing that progress should be measured by its impact on the daily lives of Nigerians rather than just elections or economic statistics.
