Following the recent agitations for separation by some groups and individuals, the call to discuss the sustainability of Nigeria as a united nation has become imperative, hence some Nigerian leaders will gather in Abuja to discuss its reality or myth.

The event slated for Thursday, August 5 at Ladi Kwali Conference Centre, Sheraton Abuja, is a brain- child of the APC Press Corps.

The public lecture series is aimed at contributing to the intellectual development of the nation’s democracy.

The topic for the one-day event is “Sustaining United and Indivisible Nigeria: A myth or Reality.”

In a statement Sunday signed by the Chairman Organising Committee of the Corps, Mr. Babatunde Ayeni, in Abuja, said the APC Chairman, Caretaker Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) and Governor of Yobe State, Hon. Mai Mala Buni will be Chairman of the occasion.
