Abuja Good Governance Awards: Calls for Inclusive Constitution to Ensure Effective Governance

At the Abuja Good Governance Awards, it was highlighted that the 1999 Nigerian Constitution falls short in ensuring good governance due to its lack of integration and inclusivity. Keynote speakers emphasized the need for a national constitution that unites all regions and demographics to guarantee effective governance.

Archbishop Jonathan Maji urged Nigerians to prioritize national wealth for citizens' benefit over external interests. The convener of Governors Today initiative, Sylvester Abudu Omose, stressed that good governance would curb the desperation of Nigerians seeking to migrate.

The speakers emphasized that sovereignty belongs to the people, urging citizens to elect honorable leaders. The event aimed to address the challenges of governance in Nigeria and promote unity across diverse backgrounds.
