“The lecture series shall bring into national discourse, ideas, strategies and boost to eradicating conflicts, promoting unity, peace and development of one indivisible Nigeria,” the organisers said in a statement made available to NAIJ.com.
The statement further said: “Peace and unity are major factors we need to develop and compete with other developing and developed countries of the world.
“The event is very vital to maintain peace and unity in the multi-ethnic and multi-religious country like ours; with more than 250 ethnic tribes and various religious beliefs divided across geopolitical lines, the nation's unity is being woefully threatened by ethnocentrism, sentiments and religious differences.
“The lecture will avail us the opportunity to appraise the challenges and build a consensus on solutions to the emerald of challenges facing or bedeviling our progress as a nation. It is our belief that if we eschew sentiments and show love which is the bedrock of peace and oneness in a multi-cultural nation like ours, then our dreams of peaceful and prosperous nation would be born and sustained for unborn generations.”
Meanwhile, a former vice chancellor of the University of Abuja and Sokoto State University, Professor Nuhu Yaqub, has decried the secrecy surrounding the looters of the nation’s treasury.
Speaking at the BuhariMeter Citizens town hall meeting held recently in Abuja, the revered professor stated that Nigerians needed to know the quantum of money seized and what the money will be used for.
He said with the way the government is handling the issue, the seized looted funds could be returned back to looters by another regime.
