The fifth edition of the Adedeji Alebiosu Symposium (TAAS 5) will examine challenges affecting the implementation of government policies and how public institutions can translate decisions into tangible benefits for Nigerians.
The symposium is scheduled to hold on Monday, December 7, 2026, at Shell Hall, MUSON Centre, Lagos, with the theme, “Beyond the Blueprint: Making Institutions Work for Nigerians.”
Discussions will focus on the gap between policy formulation and implementation, particularly the capacity of public institutions to deliver on their mandates.
Nigeria has introduced several policies, reforms, laws and development plans over the years, but translating them into measurable improvements in citizens’ lives remains a major challenge.
The symposium will examine how institutional capacity, leadership, integrity and accountability affect the implementation of government policies.
The event will feature a keynote address, guest presentations and panel discussions involving stakeholders from different sectors.
The panel sessions will focus on the roles of lawmakers and policy formulators, the private sector, young people and women, as well as the executive arm of government and civil society organisations.
Other areas of discussion will include justice, the rule of law, institutional integrity, legislative processes, public service delivery, regulatory standards, corporate responsibility and citizen participation.
Participants are expected to include policymakers, public-sector officials, business leaders, academics, researchers, civil society representatives, media practitioners and members of the public.
The organisers said the discussions would produce recommendations on institutional reforms, accountability and improved governance.
