Abuja, Nigeria – July 2024 – The Public and Private Development Centre (PPDC) convened a pivotal Civil Society Town Hall meeting to comprehensively assess President Bola Tinubu’s administration, which began in May 2023. This initiative aimed to align evidence-based analyses across various sectors, highlighting key activities, focus areas, and anticipated outcomes in collaboration with stakeholders.
President Tinubu’s administration had prioritized economic revitalization, security enhancements, and infrastructure development as central pillars of its agenda. Initiatives to combat corruption, attract foreign investment, and spur job creation through economic reforms underscore the government’s commitment to fostering inclusive growth and stability.
The PPDC’s Civil Society Town Hall provided a platform to consolidate diverse perspectives from Nigerian citizens, civil society organizations, government officials, donors/partners, and the media. During the session, the scorecard from Invictus Africa indicated a 20% measure in improving educational access under this administration. Joint recommendations based on findings were crafted into a unified report aimed at guiding future policy discourse.
“We believed that a focused and inclusive dialogue reflecting the voices of the Nigerian people was critical for promoting transparency, good governance, and sustainable development,” said Lucy Abagi, speaking on behalf of PPDC CEO Jubril Shittu.
