At a critical juncture of the Nigerian polity, the National Prosperity Movement (NPM), a national sociopolitical group, is putting together a National Unity Summit in Abuja on the 1st of December 2021 to provide a platform for Nigerians in all strata  of life to deliberate on the themes of peace, unity, equity and nation-building.

It is a well-known fact that when we speak of Nigeria; the past, present and future, it seems there are few questions that might never be answered. The term ‘UNITY’ is one of those questions and it is even more troubling because it is often confused with the term ‘union’. Simply put, Nigeria is a union with a troubled unity.

‘’We cannot have too much dialogue when peace and national interests are at stake. We can begin the process of healing and national reconciliation by understanding our fears and concerns, and then work towards addressing these issues in a calm and rational manner.”
