Media Chat and Publicity in Nigeria on Informal Sector and Inclusive Growth
Media Chat and Publicity in Nigeria on Informal Sector and Inclusive Growth
The Centre for Renewable Energy and Action on Climate Change (CREACC), and RCE Kano through the ELLA Programme* on Informality with support from Practical Action UK held a conference on Informal Sector and Inclusive Growth in February, 2017 in Kano, Nigeria. During the conference, stakeholders renewed their commitment for sustainable development and inclusive growth in Nigeria.
As a follow-up a media chat and publicity will hopefully reach out to more players in the informal sector as well as discuss the last ELLA conference outcomes. It will also highlight recommendations on how best informal sectors of the economy can become inclusive for a sustainable Nigeria.
Media Chat
3 June 2017 11:00am to 12:30pm, Kano Radio, Kano State, Nigeria
The media chat will be a 1 hour 30 minutes programme. Discussants will deliberate on the ELLA Programme and analyse the informal sector in Nigeria for 1 hour. People from the informal sector will have the opportunity for call in to ask questions for the remaining 30 minutes.
The four discussants include:
- Mr. Ali Bukar Ahmad, Technical Adviser to the Managing Director, Transmission Company of Nigeria, Abuja
- Professor Sadiya Sani Daura, Rector, Federal College of Education, Daura, Katsina State.
- Dr Bilyaminu Muhammed Ado, is Director Kano Entrepreneurship Development Institute, Dawakin Tofa, Tofa, Kano
- Usman Mareri, Executive Director, Centre for Renewable Energy and Action on Climate Change
The media chat aims to increase awareness of the topic of informality and its impact on the economy.It will be supported with policy advice coming from the conference recommendations. During the chat the organizers are hoping to find out more from the general public on what hinders them from gaining access to various interventions and how the programme can help the informal sector in Nigeria to become formalised. The policy advice will hopefully sensitize small and medium sized companies in Nigeria.
