This was confirmed by Wale Abideen, Head of Media and Strategic Communication of TPI at the weekend, saying it is a significant step towards addressing the pressing issue of youth unemployment in Nigeria, which Ganduje believes is a major obstacle to peace and development.
According to him, Ganduje spent several hours at the party’s Think Tank, The Progressive Institute (TPI), discussing the conference with the institute’s management.
