The federal legislator explained that the conference was purposely organized to bring together people of great minds from different fields to discuss, exchange thoughts and ideas on how to make things work for Nigeria and African continent.
In the same vein, Hon. Peller added that it was a very productive gathering as panelists engaged one another and participants with a robust discourse on the topics, Rebranding Nigeria for a New Future (Investment in a past COVID era) and Investing in Nigeria’s New Oil: The Youth.
Highlighting the take-home points from the event, Hon. Peller stated that the task of rebranding Nigeria for better should be a shared responsibility, and must not be left alone to the government.
Also, he noted that the future of Nigeria and Africa belongs to the youth, and that the future is now – meaning that the youth should start getting involved and taking responsibility right from their immediate communities.
