National conference to hold early 2014

 

President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday said the national conference being planned by his administration would hold early next year.

He said, “I will like to assure all Nigerians that we will partner with all stakeholders to convene this dialogue which outcome will add value to the process of building a stronger, united, more democratic and stable Nigeria.

“This discussion process is for the benefit of the entire nation, every Nigerian individual or as a group has an important role to play to ensure its success.

“I believe that by the time we conclude this conference, there will be fewer open letters that Nigerians will read. I have already directed the Coordinating Minister of the Eonomy and Minister of Finance to make adequate financial provisions so that this conference will take off immediately we enter next year.”
