This year, The Bola Tinubu Colloquium will focus on Peacebuilding and National Cohesion as a tool for growth and prosperity in Nigeria. The theme interrogates this the issue in the light of contemporary incidents and commentaries in the public space with ethnic and religious dimensions. Our objective is to explore the implications of violent conflicts and innovative strategies for sustaining peace in a heterogeneous society with multi-ethnic groups, such as Nigeria. It will bring together policymakers, mediators, thought-leaders, security experts, innovators, entrepreneurs, academics, members of civil society organizations, people affected by conflicts, and all the stakeholders who play critical roles in nation-building.
