TECHNOCRAT MEDIA, Abuja
No fewer than 151 pioneer students of The School of Politics, Policy and Governance (SPPG) will graduate on Saturday as the school hold its first convocation.
The school founded in 2021 is an unconventional school on a mission to and transform African politics.
In a statement on Thursday in Abuja, Ozioma Ubabukoh, SPPG media director said the maiden convocation will hold virtually and physically at International Conference Hall in Abuja.
He said: “The SPPG is travelling that abandoned road to build a new set of patriots for political leadership.”
The statement reads – “The school has inculcated in the graduands the ideological mindset to become leaders and disruptive thinkers.”
“Having sat under the tutelage of our enriched faculty of over 100 local and international scholars, the graduands have learnt that selfless service is required for nation-building. This has been lacking in Nigeria’s politics,” SPPG stressed.
“The graduands are potentially ready to launch their positive disruptive power to run for political offices, starting from Nigeria’s next general elections in 2023, and with a mindset to utilise public resources for the common good.”
Alero Ayida-Otobo, the Chief Executive Officer of SPPG said the institution set a goal of raising 10,000 disruptive thinking, values-based political leaders over the next 10 years for the transformation of politics and leadership in Nigeria.
On her part, Amina Salihu, pioneer dean of SPPG added that the character of SPPG, as an unconventional school, lies in its multi-disciplinary curriculum designed to equip its graduates with strong analytical and evidence-based, practical public problem-solving skills.
“The school also teaches character, competence, capacity and what inclusive government should look like,” she said.
