President Bola Tinubu is set to declare open an
international conference on security and national unity on August 13.
The event, organised by Jama’atu Izalatil Bidiah wa Iqamatis
Sunnah (JIBWIS Nigeria) in collaboration with the Muslim World League of Saudi
Arabia, will hold at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre in
Abuja.
The conference is themed “International Conference on
Security for Sustainable Socio-economic Development”.
A statement by Garbadeen Mohammad, chairman of the
conference’s media and publicity committee, said the event will examine
Nigeria’s security challenges, including banditry and kidnapping, as well as
their impact on socio-economic development.
He added that the conference will feature high-level plenary
sessions on national security and socio-economic development within a broader
global context.
Other sessions, he said, will focus on diversity and
inclusive coexistence, while expert panels will examine strategies for
countering terrorism and armed banditry and strengthening community resilience.
“The programme will also include global partnership
roundtables aimed at advancing sustainable socio-economic development,” he
said.
“The gathering would provide a platform for participants to
exchange ideas and strengthen partnerships towards achieving peace, stability
and sustainable development.”
The conference will begin at 9am on August 13 and end at
2:30pm on August 14.
A national preaching session will follow at the JIBWIS
headquarters in Utako, Abuja, on the evening of August 14 and continue through
the night.
Participants are expected to depart for their respective
destinations on August 15.
Sa’ad Abubakar, Sultan of Sokoto, will serve as the royal
father of the day.
State governors, ministers, members of the national and
state assemblies, Islamic scholars, traditional rulers, diplomats, captains of
industry, members of the Muslim ummah from Nigeria and beyond, as well as the
general public, are expected to attend.
