Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Prof. Mkpa Agu Mkpa, former Vice Chancellor of Abia State University, Uturu, has urged the National Assembly to reconsider the 2014 Constitutional Conference report.<\/p>\n

Mkpa made the appeal in Abuja on Wednesday while delivering the keynote lecture for the African School of Diplomacy and International Relations\u2019 third annual public lecture series, induction, and conferment of honorary doctorate degrees.<\/p>\n

He said that the paper addressed the majority of the country\u2019s development challenges.<\/p>\n

The event with the theme \u201cThe Political Economy of Nation-Building: The World\u2019s Unfinished Business\u2019\u2019 was organized in collaboration with Queen\u2019s University Belfast, UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat conference made landmark recommendations which, had they been implemented, could have accelerated the tempo of our nation-building efforts,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Mkpa stated that if individuals were stronger than institutions, the country would never be great, and nation-building would become a mirage.<\/p>\n

According to him, military coups in some African countries were the result of unfinished business in those countries\u2019 nation-building, and Nigerian authorities should use the report of the 2014 Constitutional Conference to normalize things.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the most near-successful efforts in Nigeria\u2019s history of nation-building, that would have arrested most if not all the stumbling blocks towards the nation\u2019s unsteady march towards nation-building, was the national conference of 2014,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n
