At a briefing, the Chairman Kingsweek Planning Committee, Tonye Cole, said: “At a time when national security is at the forefront of Nigeria’s developmental challenges, the theme of this year’s Kingsweek could not be more relevant. It reflects the urgency of addressing multifaceted security issues—from social and financial security to national, information, and energy security. These issues are critical to the nation’s sustainability and future growth, and the KCOBA is taking this opportunity to engage thought leaders, alumni, students, and the broader public in meaningful conversations on how to secure Nigeria’s future.”
The week will kick off tomorrow with a Virtual Conference. There would be a Back to School Day, where association’s members would reconnect with the students and staff members; to be followed by Future Careers Day.
The following day, there will be Kingsweek Jumat Service and Lecture. The Sports Day is on Saturday. This will be followed by a dinner at the Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island.
