According to her, the event is organized for in-person and virtual participation in order to effectively draw large participants into discussion that would address negative social norms bedeviling the country while provoking behavioural change in citizens.

Other speakers at the policy dialogue include: Prof. Etannibi Alemika; Naziru Mikailu Abubakar; Rev. Fr. George Ehusani; Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, and Prof. Isaac Nnamdi.
