The event also attracted the Minister of State for Works and members of the House of Representatives, among others.

Speaking at the event, Senator Wamakko, who commissioned the secretariat, said the forum was committed to strengthening governance and promoting transparency and accountability.

“Our forum is very strong today, and we are a symbol of the country’s unity,” he said.

Chairman of the Former Deputy Governors’ Forum of Nigeria, Dr Chris Akomas, said the body’s primary goal was to contribute to nation-building.

“This forum is driven by interest, willingness, and commitment to national development. What gives us courage is our belief that we can achieve the best for our country, our children, and generations to come,” he said.
