Events & Initiatives

In addition to promoting the reading culture, the Book Reading Series, is aimed at bringing together authors, scholars, academics and lay readers who will actively participate and generate cogent ideas that raise the bar of policy discussions in the country and could be deployed into policy dialogues.

We have taken before now, such thought-provoking texts as Odia Ofeimun’s Taking Nigeria Seriously; Bishop Hassan Kukah’s Witness to Justice; Prof. Richard Joseph’s Prebendalism; Prof. Femi Mimiko’s Getting our Universities Back; and Richard Bourne’s Nigeria: A New History of a Turbulent Century.

ISGPP holds seminar series that is aimed at bringing together critical stakeholders from different backgrounds such as the academia, policy experts, government officials from relevant agencies, international organisations and development partners to engage in conversations that will generate policy dialogues that could be deployed by relevant stakeholders, including government; in addressing the development question in Nigeria and Africa.
