President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria will lead several distinguished Nigerians to chair the 10th Bola Tinubu Colloquium to commemorate the 66th birthday of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In a statement by Secretary to the Lagos State government, Mr. Tunji Bello, this year’s event themed, “Investing in People” would hold at the Eko Convention Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos with a view to bringing together stakeholders including policy makers, academics and members of the civil society groups.
Bello said that Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State would be the chief host as the event would also provide a talk shop for attendees to tell unique Nigerian story of what it meant for the government to act as a social investor in the affairs of its people.
He said: “When stretched further, the Colloquium would ascertain whether the quest for the government to act as a social investor can be regarded as campaign slogan or a mere ideology with no incremental/socio-economic benefits. The gathering would also debate whether such decision by government should be regarded as a necessary policy action which the nation must embrace if she must witness any real development.”
