President Bola Tinubu will officially launch the All Progressives Congress (APC) newly established Think Tank and Resource Centre, known as The Progressive Institute (TPI), on Friday, 6th September in Abuja. The highly anticipated event is scheduled to commence at 10:00 am at the Abuja Inter-Continental Hotel, formerly Sheraton Hotels.<\/p>\n
The unveiling will be hosted by the APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, underscoring the significance of the institute within the party\u2019s broader strategic framework. The inaugural lecture, titled \u201cThe Progressive Philosophy and its Programmatic Implications on Governance,\u201d<\/em> will be delivered by Governor Hope Uzodimma, Chairman of The Progressives Governors\u2019 Forum, highlighting the institute\u2019s role in shaping the ideological direction of the party.<\/p>\n In a press statement released on Wednesday by Wale Abideen, Head of the Media and Strategic Communication Unit at TPI, it was emphasized that the event marks a pivotal moment in the APC\u2019s ongoing efforts to institutionalize its governance philosophy and enhance its policy-making capabilities.<\/p>\n Lanre Adebayo, PhD, the Director General of TPI, earlier stated that the unveiling event forms part of the broader arrangements for the official commencement of the institute\u2019s activities. The institute, registered by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) as a Company Limited by Guarantee, has received certification from both the Ministries of Justice and Education, ensuring its compliance with national regulations and standards.<\/p>\n Dr. Adebayo elaborated on the institute’s objectives, noting that TPI was established as a strategic initiative by the APC leadership to refine its leadership recruitment process through high-quality training programs. The institute is also poised to play a critical role in strengthening intra-party democracy and governance, while also contributing to the APC\u2019s policy development through independent research.<\/p>\n Additionally, TPI is expected to design and implement a comprehensive voter education template, which will serve as a cornerstone of the APC\u2019s efforts to empower the Nigerian electorate. This initiative is aligned with the party’s commitment to fostering a more informed and engaged voter base, ensuring that citizens are well-equipped to make decisions that align with progressive governance ideals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" President Bola Tinubu will officially launch the All Progressives Congress (APC) newly established Think Tank and Resource Centre, known as The Progressive Institute (TPI), on Friday, 6th September in Abuja.
