The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has constituted a 50-member Policy and Manifesto Committee, following approval by the party’s National Working Committee.
According to a statement by the ADC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the committee, approved by National Chairman Senator David Mark, aims to develop a credible, people-centred, and forward-looking policy framework for national governance.
The committee brings together distinguished Nigerians from diverse backgrounds, including former public office holders, academics, technocrats, policy experts, civil society leaders, and professionals.
Chief John Odigie-Oyegun has been appointed Chairman of the committee, with Professor Pat Utomi as Deputy Chairman and Salihu Lukman as Secretary.
The committee is tasked with articulating a clear and coherent policy direction that reflects the aspirations of Nigerians and positions the ADC as a serious alternative platform for responsible leadership and national renewal.
The formal inauguration of the committee is scheduled for Monday next week at the ADC National Secretariat in Abuja.
The party affirmed its belief that Nigeria’s challenges require ideas rooted in competence, integrity, and national consensus, expressing confidence that the committee will deliver a manifesto addressing the real needs of Nigerians.
