According to him, in a statement by the spokesman of the vice president, Stanley Nkowcha, the dialogue “is not just a ceremonial gathering but a strategic confluence of leaders and thinkers in government, the international development community and civil society, geared towards deliberating on how to advance the gains made in the first year of the Renewed Hope Agenda.”
Senator Hadejia explained that the event will examine the work done by the administration in the past one year and the areas for consolidation.
“We have embarked on this path of economic revitalisation, social empowerment and infrastructural development, while navigating the complexities of a rapidly evolving global space,” he stated.
Senator Hadejia added that the high-level dialogue will provide a comprehensive analysis of the government policy priority and delivery mechanisms that have been instrumental in translating that President’s vision into tangible results.
