Three committees, including Climate Change, Entrepreneurship Training for Youths; one on Agriculture and the other on Legal Reforms and the Rule of Law, have been set up under ‘The Big Tent’ initiative.
The Big Tent’ initiative is a coalition of several political parties, civil society organisations, and social movements, led by Professor of Economic Strategy, Pat Utomi, to find solutions to the myriad of socio-political and economic challenges facing Nigeria, with the aim of positioning the country for global strategic relevance.
The committee on climate change and youth entrepreneurship training is led by Jerome Okolo, a Sloan Fellow at the London Business School Sloan Programme in Leadership and Strategy, and it is charged with mobilising youths to fight climate change, entrepreneurship training with capital support strategies, and business angles networks, to help strengthen new ventures for rapid economic reversal and private sector-led growth.
The committee on agriculture led by Murtala Sagagi, management, entrepreneurship and innovation, development management expert has the responsibility of fashioning agriculture factor endowments for value chains to return Nigerian to high employment manufacturing, while that on legal reforms and the rule of law, led by senior advocate of Nigeria, Muiz Banire, has the responsibility of ensuring that respect for rule of law facilitates the goals of the new Nigeria.
Utomi, chieftain of the Labour Party (LP) and the chairman of the National Consultative Front (NCFront), disclosed this at the weekend, while addressing a forum of the party’s candidates at the Centre for Values in Leadership, in Lagos.
