As part of his itinerary, President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR) will be hosted by one of Africa’s television station, Ebonylife TV, in Washington, D.C today. The interactive session tagged ‘Meet & Greet’ will also feature young professionals.
The Meet & Greet, with Mr. President and Young Nigerian Professionals is expected to host scholars and professionals from all over the United States. A statement from the station says that the event has essentially been designed as an avenue to meet with, and interact with Mr. President, on the prospects and challenges involved in the governance of Africa’s most populous nation and the role that our young professionals need to play.
“As a channel quintessentially made for the youth, home and abroad, we are extremely pleased that President Muhammadu Buhari appreciates the youth and has demonstrated this commitment and passion even on this historical event in Washington DC by agreeing to include them in his very busy programme schedule. As such, he will be meeting with Young Nigerian Professionals in the Diaspora at this important Meet & Greet being organised by our channel. For this, we’re very grateful to Mr. President and his hardworking team,” says the Executive Chairman and CEO of EbonyLife TV, Mo Abudu.
At a similar forum in June 2015, the channel hosted the former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, to an interactive session with the Nigerian youth, tagged ‘Afternoon Tea with Professor Jega’. At this session in Lagos, young and futuristic professionals from every sector of the economy were in attendance to engage and dialogue with the highly respected Professor on some of the critical issues leading to, during and after the 2015 general elections.
