National Conference To Start February 10

BARRING unforeseen adjustments, the proposed national conference may begin on Monday, February 10, 2014, Vanguard has gathered.
This is after a harmonisation committee would have finished harmonising the modalities for the confab, a presidency source told Vanguard at the weekend.

The source said members of the committee may include Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim; some members of the Presidential Committee on National Dialogue, which last week submitted a 4000-page report to President Goodluck Jonathan; and Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.


The source said: “The harmonisation committee, which will be led by the SGF, will meet with the members of the Dr Okurounmu confab committee to harmonise the modalities.
“Thereafter, they will meet with the Finance Minister to work out how the conference will be funded. All these will take about one month so that the conference will begin in the second week or middle of February, next year.”
