The Kaduna state deputy governor, Dr Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, is expected to lead speakers and panelists at the 2022 Public Lecture and Annual General Meeting of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR).
The theme of this year’s event is: “Politics in Policy Polarization: Implications Ahead of 2023 Elections and Beyond,” under the distinguished chairmanship of former Minister of Power and Steel and Secretary General, Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Alhaji Murtala Aliyu.
The chapter chairman, Haruna Malami, said this year’s theme was chosen in light of the alarming rate of policy reversals at all levels of government which frequently impedes the implementation of well intended measures without recourse to the impact on sustainable development.
The event is scheduled to hold on Saturday at Sir Ahmadu Bello Foundation, opposite Murtala Mohammed Square, Kaduna.
It shall have in attendance senior government officials, civil society organisations, academics, members of the business community, students and members of the general public.
There shall also be award presentation to notable personalities who have distinguished themselves in their respective fields of endeavour.
Among recipients are Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, (MON), Professor Ladi Adamu of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and the chairman of Blueprint Newspapers, Alhaji Mohammed Idris.
Others are the Kaduna state deputy governor, Dr. Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, the director general of Industrial Training Fund, Joseph Ari, NNPC Limited’s executive director, Business Services, Dr. Abdullahi Idris, and the chief executives of Farmtrack and Spectrum Engineering, Sadiq Abubakar and Abubakar Isa, respectively.
