According to him, Mr Sani Bello has accepted to share his thoughts on the topic.
“We are delighted to have His Excellency, Governor Abubakar Sani Bello, deliver the News Express 5th Anniversary Lecture.
“Perhaps no issue is engaging the attention of Nigerians at the moment more than national unity and restructuring.
“We have chosen the right man to speak on this crucial issue at this moment of heightening agitations across the country.
“His Excellency, Governor Sani Bello, is a distinguished new breed Nigerian leader whose state, Niger, has over the decades played a very significant role in promoting national unity.
