Following the insecurity in Nigeria, the founder of Afe Babalola University (ABUAD) in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, Afe Babalola, on Tuesday announced a donation of N50 million to sponsor the emergency national conference tagged, ‘Summit of Hope’ to find urgent ways out of the current insecurity in Nigeria.
Babalola made the statement during the 10th Aare Afe Babalola Annual Public Lecture, organized by the Ado Ekiti branch of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).
The said conference is expected to take place at Afe Babalola University anytime from now.
Babalola explained that the intervention was to stop the country from drifting into imminent anarchy or resorting to another civil war.
He also donated the 700-Seater ABUAD Hall and the Five-Star ABUAD Inn to be used for the summit, and said that restructuring and forming a new constitution were key to turning things around for the better, if Nigerians so desired.
Babalola listed a number of eminent Nigerians to be invited to the conference. These include all former presidents and all leading traditional rulers.
