The Former Deputy Governors Forum (FDGF), Thursday took a significant step forward with the inauguration of its new permanent secretariat in Abuja.
The development marked a major milestone in the forum’s growing influence, both nationally and internationally.
The forum, describing the secretariat as a symbol of unity and progress, hinted that it would also house the Polish-Nigerian Business Council, opening up new opportunities for global partnerships and investment cooperation.
The secretariat, located in the heart of the Federal Capital Territory, is a multi-purpose complex that would serve as a hub for the forum’s activities.
With the new secretariat, the Forum said it was poised to deepen its work in leadership mentorship, policy advocacy, and national cohesion, positioning itself as a stabilising force in Nigeria’s democratic journey
Chairman of the Forum, Dr. Chris Akomas, while speaking on the sidelines shortly after the inauguration, described it as a dream fulfilled and a testament to perseverance and collective vision.
He said: “This is not just a building, it’s a vision taking shape – one that connects our past leadership experiences to the promise of a better, more united Nigeria.”
Also, a former Governor of Sokoto State, Senator Aliyu Wamakko, described the structure as a symbol of unity, progress, and renewed commitment to nation-building.
He added that the secretariat represents Nigeria’s future, built on cooperation, accountability, and the shared experience of leaders who have served and still care deeply about the nation.
