The Great Nigerian Assembly (GNA), a global coalition of skilled, professional Nigerians committed to transformative change, invites you to an inspiring, action-driven seminar dedicated to empowering local governance for a sustainable and progressive Nigeria. With 16 professional groups rooted in collaboration, innovation, and strategic planning, the GNA catalyzes national development, advocating for a nation where meritocracy, transparency, and the rule of law guide our collective journey to a prosperous future.
In response to Nigeria’s Supreme Court’s recent affirmation of local government autonomy, the GNA’s Initiatives for Good Governance (IGG), in collaboration with international stakeholders, is proud to host a pivotal seminar: “Local Government Autonomy: Pathways, Resources, and Impacts for Sustainable Development.” This event unites global voices to discuss how local governance can be a powerful agent for national transformation, empowering communities, and uplifting Nigeria.
