The programme, he said, is expected to bring to the front burner of national discourse, the connection between patriotism, which presently seems in short supply.
Also to be discussed is the need to tap the presently vastly untapped potentials of the country, including the human, solid minerals, agricultural, marine, and ICT potentials, for the rapid development of the nation.
Past and present federal and state government functionaries, acclaimed pro-democracy and human rights activists are expected at the occasion.
Also, national and state assembly members, military and para-military chiefs, celebrated media personalities, clerics, among other distinguished personalities will be present.
