Justice Idris Kutigi
The Chairman of the national conference, Justice Idris
Kutigi, has said he and members of the conference are looking ahead to what he
described as a new Nigeria.
He called on the delegates not to rest until that time when
he said a new Nigeria would be made.
Kutig spoke at a dinner put together by the leadership of the
conference to end the confab which was inaugurated by President Goodluck
Jonathan in March 17, 2014.
He said, “To our distinguished delegates as we collectively
look forward to a new Nigeria of our dreams, it is my wish and hope that you
would not relent in your efforts at dispensing your good works of patriotism to
our dear nation whenever you are called upon to do so.”
He said history would forever remain kind to the delegates,
adding that they remained outstanding both in their deliberations and contributions
of ideas which he said enabled the conference to accomplish its mission.
Kutigi however regretted the death of four out of the 492
delegates.
The delegates who died during the conference were Mr. Hamma
Misau, Dr. Mohammed Jumare, Prof. Dora Akunyili and Prof. Mohammed Alkali.
A minute silence was observed in their honour at the event.
He poured encomium on the rest of the delegates for their
contributions to the conference.
Kutigi said, “Distinguished delegates, it’s my belief that
your personal conduct and eloquent contributions in this national assignment,
added to the shrewd manner you participated and generated thoughts through
debates and deliberations, will usher in a new Nigeria of our dream.
“I wish to appreciate the contributions of my colleagues in
the management team for their invaluable support and contributions to the
success of the conference.”
Kutigi also expressed his gratitude to President Goodluck
Jonathan and his deputy, Namadi Sambo for their support.
Speaking on behalf of the delegates, Chief Edwin Clark,
described the conference as historic, adding that the delegates ended it as
renewed Nigerians.
