Call to Action:

In the light of this, the need for effective leadership in government and institutions to ensure that we reduce the proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty by 2030 based on the United Nations’ SDGs cannot be over emphasized.

Nwankwo said there is the need for government to implement programmes and policies to end poverty in all its dimensions, to support accelerated investment in poverty eradication actions.

In developing countries like ours, new threats brought on by regional conflicts and food insecurity, mean even more work is needed to bring people out of poverty, he added.

The Focus:

The Lagos NIPR Chairman revealed that the conference will engage relevant stakeholders on likely way forward, for instance the need for responsible leadership, improved corporate social responsibility, commitment of organisations and institutions to empowerment and development of their immediate communities.

It will address the need for an enhanced Social security, a sustainable welfare scheme; implementation of nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, he stressed.

Nwankwo further stated that the conference will be expected to address ways to ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor and the vulnerable, have access to economic resources, basic services, natural resources, appropriate new technology and financial services, including microfinance.

“It will look at how to build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations and reduce their exposure and vulnerability to economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters.

The Conference:

The Chairman pointed out that the Annual Lagos Public Relations Stakeholders’ Conference has evolved over the years to become a headline platform, a bridge-building talker-shop for stakeholders to interact, discuss and proffer solutions to the social, political and economic challenges plaguing our nation. The Conference is the brainchild of Addefort Limited; a public relation and concept development firm, he added.

 

In his words: It is worthy of note that since the first edition of the Conference in 2014, chaired by the President, Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, with the Governor of Lagos State, His Excellency Mr. Babatunde Fashola SAN, delivering the keynote address, subsequent editions have witnessed the participation of eminent and distinguished personalities that include; the Founder/Chairman, Silverbird Group, Senator Ben Murray Bruce; Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu; Founder, Centre for Value in Leadership, Prof Pat Utomi; Founder/Chairman, Chrisland Schools and Chrisland University, High Chief Dr. (Mrs.) Winifred Awosika; Chairman, National Executive Council, Nigerian Conservation Foundation, Chief Ede Dafinone; Governor of Lagos State, His Excellency, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the Managing Director Ecobank Nigeria, Mr Patrick Akinwuntan, amongst others.
