Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State will serve as the Chief Host, while Chief Segun Osoba, former Governor of Ogun State, and Uncle Sam Amuka, Founder of Vanguard Media Group, will be the Fathers of the Day.
The NGE highlighted that the current government, which took office in May 2023, has implemented significant reforms, including the removal of petrol subsidies and the unification of foreign exchange markets. However, despite these efforts, the country continues to face significant economic challenges, including inflation, unemployment, and high poverty rates. Nigeria ranks seventh lowest in the global human capital index, and many citizens are leaving the country in search of better opportunities. The poverty rate in the country is put at about 40 % – with an estimated 88 million Nigerians living below the poverty line.
