Attendance was strictly by invitation from the Nigerian Embassy in Washington DC which also
doubled as the venue for the meeting. It was an EbonyLife TV televised interactive session.
Questions were mainly on security and corruption and the President promised to feed on the goodwill of international communities presently enjoyed by Nigeria to tackle them all and make the country great again.
Mr Odize who couldn't get a turn to express his concerns because the President complained of tiredness from the numerous meetings he had the whole day was asked to write them down and all their contact emails taken by the Presidential Media Aide.
Mr Odize's concerns were based on curbing the rate of youth's radicalization into militancy, taking them off the streets by providing jobs for them through the different potential projects accross the country like the Brass LNG take off, the EGTL projects and also the possibility of investing in biofuel production.
On security he opined that community policing be looked into, since securing the border is a huge challenge; the police profession be reformed, adequately funded and equipped. He prayed for the army to succeed in its fight against insurgency.
In attendance were the president’s VIP entourage including Adams Oshiomhole, his beautiful wife – Lara Fortes, Rochas Okorocha, Amaechi Rotimi, Femi Adesina and others. The Nigerian Ambassador to the US, Professor Ade Adefuye, Media mogul, Mo Abudu also attended the event.
