Eminent Nigerians across the board will gather in Abuja on July 4, 2024, to make a comprehensive assessment of the impact of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR., on the overall socio-economic fabric of Nigeria in the last year.
It will be at the maiden Prof Emeka Umerah Public Lecture being held under the theme “Nigeria yesterday, today and a prosperous future.”
Particularly, the forum will appraise how implementing the President’s 2023 Renewed Hope Policy Document, formed out of his campaign mantra, has positively or negatively impacted the efforts towards building a more prosperous and greater Nigeria, and make appropriate recommendations.
According to a statement by Comrade Eric Oluwole, the event is in solidarity with, and honor of the President Tinubu administration’s activities and impacts towards a greater Nigeria.
Billed to be held at 10.00 am at the Nigeria/Plateau Hall, Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, the event will showcase how the Tinubu administration has weathered the storm of the socioeconomic challenges it confronted to record the achievements credited to it in the last one year.
Oluwole said that the forum will highlight the administration’s achievements to encourage it to do more in the next three years in its efforts to build a new Nigeria that will be a pride of all and a haven both for the strong and the weak.
