National conference to hold early 2014 - President Jonathan
« on: December 18, 2013, 04:22:35 PM »
President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday said the national conference being planned by his administration would hold early next year.

He said he had already directed the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, to make adequate financial provisions to ensure the smooth take off of the confab.

Jonathan spoke shortly after receiving the report of the Senator Femi Okurounmu-led Presidential Advisory Committee on the National Dialogue saddled with the responsibility of designing a framework for the conference.

Okurounmu presented the 4,000-page report to the President in the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, shortly before the commencement of the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting.

The President said at the end of the conference, which was meant to build a better cohesive society for the present and future generations of Nigerians, there would be less open letters for Nigerians.

He was apparently referring to a recent letter titled ‘Before it is too late, written by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo in which the former President accused Jonathan of  condoning corruption and engaging in acts  that were capable of destroying the country.
