Abuja: President Bola Tinubu is expected to serve as the special guest of honour at the Progressives Forum’s Summit slated for Dec. 8 in Abuja. Chairman, Organising Committee of the summit, Ismaeel Ahmad, in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja, said the summit is to celebrate 10 years of APC governance in Nigeria.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, Ahmad stated that the summit is organized in conjunction with The Bola Tinubu Legacy Conference, the Progressives Rights Group (PRG), and the Buhari New Media Centre (BNMC). The chairman shared that the theme of the summit is ‘Summit of the Progressives’, designed to reflect on a decade of APC leadership and chart a renewed direction for the progressive movement.
The event, scheduled for Dec. 8 at the NAF Conference Centre, Abuja, will convene party leaders, key stakeholders, and members of the broader progressive family who have contributed to shaping the party’s ideals and governance philosophy over the past decade. Conceived as both reflective and forward-looking, the summit aims to undertake a comprehensive review of milestones, achievements, reforms, and developmental strides recorded since the APC assumed national leadership in 2015, while also drawing lessons essential for reinvigorating the progressive vision for the years ahead.
The programme will feature keynote speeches on the evolution and impacts of progressive governance across major sectors. It is also expected to include electoral panel discussions covering economic transformation, national security, social investment, energy transition, infrastructural development, governance reforms, and political renewal. Additionally, fireside chats with notable leaders within Nigeria’s progressive fold will spotlight leadership journeys, defining decisions, policy philosophies, and pivotal reflections that have shaped the movement.
Other attractions, according to Ahmad, include legacy documentary presentations capturing APC’s rise, its signature policy interventions, and landmark governance moments since 2015.
