Kaduna: A delegation of the Federal Government is currently in Kaduna for a two-day government-citizen engagement.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, the forum is taking place at the Arewa House and has been organized by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Foundation (SABMF).
The theme of the forum is 'Assessing Electoral Promises: Fostering Government-Citizen Engagement for National Unity.' President Bola Tinubu is represented at the event by Gov. Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara. Attendees include the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, and the Minister of Women Affairs, Hajiya Imaam Suleiman-Ibrahim.
Chief Executives of parastatal agencies in the information ministry, including the Managing Director of NAN, Malam Ali Muhammad Ali, are also attending the forum.

The Sir Ahmadu Bello Foundation, established in 2009, is a non-political, non-profit, and nonreligious organization. It honors the legacy of Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto, who was the only Premier of the defunct Northern Nigeria and contributed significantly to the region's political, educational, and economic development. NAN reports that the Foundation was founded in response to a collective desire among stakeholders in Northern Nigeria to preserve the late Sardauna's legacy.
