Rulinda is a special guest at the Haske Satumari Foundation annual colloquium with the theme: “Electoral and Judicial Reforms: The Imperatives on Nigeria’s Democracy, Governance, Leadership and its Selection Processes.
Nigerian leaders would join him in the discussion.
The event will be held in Abuja on Thursday. Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan is among the dignitaries expected to attend. It will provide insight into how Africa can improve its electoral transparency and reform the judicial system.
Others speaking at this colloquium include the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, and Human Rights activist, Mr Femi Falana (SAN).
Former Senate President Abubakar Bukola Saraki is expected to share experiences on democracy and the legislative process.
Haske Satumari told journalists yesterday that the Foundation’s annual colloquium has been shaping political and legal discussions in Nigeria since its introduction by the founder, Kudla Satumari.
Satumari said this year’s colloquium promises to be thought-provoking and help shape political discussion as the country moves towards amending the constitution, the electoral act, and judicial reforms.
