Conveners

The conveners of the NCSSR: Ene Obi, Asma’u Joda and James Ugochukwu, through the coalition, made these observations in its interim statement obtained by journalists in Abuja.

The purpose, the conveners said, was to interrogate the challenges facing the region, particularly those concerning, security, education, agriculture and poverty.

This process is obviously very difficult for conveners to plan for, but it should be supported when it happens.

We’re also powerful conveners, so bringing attention to the conversations that are critical for moving equality and justice forward will continue to be part of what you see from BIO as you did at BIO Digital this year.

As one of our conveners puts it ‘Protests and Demands have become a blunt instrument’ the Government does not care because the people do not care.

Querying why the conveners chose Enugu state, he said “we cannot fold our hands and watch our future dragged into what will not give God glory.

The renowned human rights activist added that there was no evidence to get the ‘RevolutonNow’ protests conveners convicted.
