Nigerian lawmakers in the Ekiti state house of assembly have scheduled a leadership retreat for Canada.
The Nigerian lawmakers would be attending the event with their spouses.
In a letter to the Ekiti Kete Association in Canada, Titilope Agbede, the assembly’s clerk, said the legislators would be led by Adeoye Stephen Aribasoye, the speaker.
The ‘Executive Legislative Leadership Retreat’ has been billed for November 2024 in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.
Agbede said the retreat aims to equip the legislators with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively navigate the complexities of policy implementation challenges.
“As part of our visit, the House intends to have a courtesy visit to the Ekiti Kete Association, Canada, to meet with the members of Ekiti Kete in diaspora,” the letter reads.
“This will be able to foster cultural development and share experience that can promote Ekiti State and good governance for the benefit of our people.
“We kindly request that you give us a date and time between November 13, 2024, and November 20, 2024.
“We look forward to a positive response and the opportunity to have an exclusive meeting with Ekiti Kete to promote and sustain Ekiti Cultural Heritage through educational and socio-cultural programmes.”
