LASG to bring Buhari for Tinubu colloquium

Sesan Olufowobi

The Lagos State Government on Wednesday said President Muhammadu Buhari was expected to chair the 10th Bola Tinubu Colloquium to commemorate the 66th birthday of a national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu.

A statement by the Secretary to the Lagos State Government, Mr. Tunji Bello, said the theme of the event, ‘Investing in People,’ was expected to draw discourse from stakeholders including policymakers, academics and members of the civil society groups.

“It is expected that the gathering at the Eko Convention Centre, Victoria Island, which Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, will be the chief host, will provide a platform for attendees to tell the unique Nigerian story of what it means for the government to act as a social investor in the people.

“The gathering will debate whether decisions by the government should be regarded as a necessary policy action which the nation must embrace if it must witness any real development,” the statement read in part.

It added that the yearly gathering had become a veritable ground for sharing knowledge and information about socioeconomic issues and addressing governance challenges confronting Nigeria.

“The idea of a Bola Tinubu Colloquium was conceived in 1999 by some close friends and associates of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu who felt that some of the rich and stimulating debates that hallmarked some of the meetings which he presided over should be translated into a platform that will expand the conversation and lead to tangible outcomes,” the statement said.
