High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has thrown his weight behind a new book examining President Bola Tinubu’s leadership and reform agenda, sponsoring its unveiling scheduled for December 1 in Abuja.
The publication, titled The Courage to Reform: Architecture of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, Beyond 2027 — Statecraft, Vision for National Renewal, is expected to provide an extensive examination of the policies and governing philosophy of the Tinubu administration.
Tompolo, who is the Grand Patron of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, is sponsoring the literary event, which will hold at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja.
The unveiling was initially scheduled for November 5 but was postponed following adjustments to President Tinubu’s official engagements. The President is expected to attend the rescheduled event as Special Guest of Honour.
The book examines some of the administration’s most consequential policy decisions, including the removal of petroleum subsidy, tax reforms, electricity sector restructuring, local government financial autonomy and the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND).
It also explores proposed state police arrangements, forest security initiatives and the liberalisation of key sectors of the economy.
Beyond presenting the administration’s policy choices, the publication examines their implementation challenges, implications for national security, economic restructuring and the prospects for sustainable development.
The organisers said the unveiling would provide a platform for political leaders, policymakers, academics, diplomats, business leaders and civil society representatives to engage with the ideas and policy perspectives contained in the book.
The Central Planning Committee is chaired by the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim.
She expressed appreciation to invited guests and stakeholders for their understanding following the postponement, regretting any inconvenience caused by the change of date.
She reaffirmed the committee’s commitment to a successful unveiling on December 1 and extended invitations to members of the National Assembly, traditional rulers, captains of industry, academics, civil society organisations and media practitioners.
