• 1993 Nigerian Presidential Election The Nigerian presidential elections were held on June 12, 1993, marking a significant moment in Nigeria's democratic history. Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola (M.K.O.), an international businessman and politician representing the Social Democratic Party, overwhelmingly defeated his rival Alhaji Bashir Tofa of the National Republican Convention.

• Jurassic Park Film Release Steven Spielberg's groundbreaking film Jurassic Park was released, revolutionizing visual effects and becoming a massive box office success. The movie, based on Michael Crichton's novel, introduced audiences to realistic computer-generated dinosaurs and set new standards for blockbuster entertainment.
• Option A4 Voting Technique The National Electoral Commission (NEC) implemented the unique Option A4 voting technique, where voters physically queued behind candidate posters at polling units.

• Three Little Pigs Music Chart Entry The song 'Three Little Pigs' by Green Jelly reached #17 on the music charts, representing a minor musical moment of the year.
