A book examining President Bola Tinubu’s reform agenda is set to be unveiled December 1, after its organizers postponed the event to accommodate the President’s official schedule.
The volume, The Courage to Reform: Architecture of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, Beyond 2027 — Statecraft, Vision for National Renewal, will be presented at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre in Abuja.
Its Central Planning Committee said the original November 5 ceremony was rescheduled after consultations to allow Tinubu, the Special g
Guest of Honour, to attend.
The publication examines Tinubu’s leadership philosophy, policy choices and reform program amid efforts at economic recovery, institutional change and long-term development.
It also assesses the opportunities and risks posed by the administration’s approach to governance and national renewal.
Among the policies analyzed are the removal of petroleum subsidies, tax reform, the Nigerian Education Loan Fund ( NELFUND), financial autonomy for local governments, electricity-sector changes, proposed state policing arrangements, forest-security initiatives and the liberalization of key parts of the economy.
The book frames those measures as part of a broader effort to restructure the economy, strengthen governance, improve security and increase institutional accountability.
It also considers how their implementation could shape Nigeria’s development path.
The event is sponsored by High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, the Grand Patron of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement.
Organizers said the sponsorship will support a gathering of government officials, political leaders, diplomats, academics, policy specialists and other stakeholders.
The ceremony is intended to provide a forum for discussion of the administration’s reform agenda, the difficulties of carrying it out and the prospects for sustaining Nigeria’s development.
Invitations have been extended to political leaders, members of the National Assembly, business executives, academics, traditional rulers, civil-society groups, journalists and the public.
Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, the Minister of Women affairs and Social Development and Chairwoman of the planning committee, thanked guests for their understanding after the postponement and apologized for any inconvenience.
She reaffirmed the committee’s commitment to holding the ceremony on December 1 at the Abuja conference center.
