Despite aversions to the concept of democracy by the politicians and power brokers, its practice left much to be desired. Much of the practices are profoundly at variance with democracy as we know it.
As indigenes of worldwide, particularly in North America and Europe, we share a belief that it is not just enough to ask what the government can do for the people of our state, but to also contribute by doing and assisting government do for the people.
IPC hopes this summit will bring together various stakeholders and key players from home and abroad to come together to dialogue, exchange and rub minds with a view to improve governance in Akwa Ibom, nay in line with democratic tenets.
It is hoped that the effect of the summit will be immediate in Akwa Ibom and especially more effective leading up to and by 2015 when elections will be held in Nigeria.
The theme of the Summit, therefore, is: “Promoting Peace and Development in Akwa Ibom through Credible and Sustainable Democracy”…
