“We met and reviewed how it went and began working on the 2nd edition which is schedule for Tuesday, November 7, 2023 at the same venue as discussions with DMPs and other stakeholders in the maritime  and oil and gas stakeholders continue”.

 

“We are elated by the responses so far, some well meaning stakeholders who have contacted us on the modalities and the spread, have been quite encouraging”, Okiemute said.

 

Chairman Publicity, Mr. Kenneth Jukpor, Publisher of the DietNewsDigest also expressed enthusiasm on this year’s gathering.
