The Apostolic Round Table provides a unique platform for spiritual, intellectual, and strategic engagement, aimed at promoting unity, healing, and sustainable development among nations. With a special emphasis on Nigeria’s strategic position within Africa, this forum plays a critical role in shaping the continent’s future.

Nigeria, often referred to as the soul of Africa, holds a critical position in the global discourse on political stability, economic prosperity, and social justice. For Africa to truly thrive, Nigeria must lead by example, offering a model for democratic governance, economic prosperity, and unity. If Nigeria continues to grapple with instability and division, it is unlikely that the continent will achieve its full potential. The global community’s concerns for Africa will remain unresolved unless Nigeria overcomes its internal challenges and rises to its full potential as a unified, prosperous nation.

Against this backdrop, the 2025 edition of ART takes on heightened significance. The theme for the 2025 gathering is “Stewards of Nations, 2nd Edition: ONE NIGERIA!”, emphasizing the imperative of national unity and collective purpose. This year’s event is set to provide an essential platform for addressing the myriad challenges that threaten Nigeria’s cohesion, stability, and progress. Guests from across Africa will join the event, reflecting the continental importance of the discussions that will unfold.

Focus: Nurturing the Seed of Unity in Nigeria

The key objective of the 2025 ART is to provide tangible answers to the pressing questions that hinder the unity of Nigeria, and to explore pathways to healing, reconciliation, and growth. A central component of the event will be the roundtable discussion titled “Nurturing the Seed of Unity in Nigeria,” aimed at exploring ways to foster greater solidarity among Nigeria’s diverse ethnic, religious, and political groups.

The keynote address will be delivered by Bishop (Dr) Joe Ighalo Edoro, a distinguished leader and patron of the Indigenous Group for Restructuring (IGR), a forum within the Project Victory Call Initiative. Bishop Edoro’s extensive experience in advocating for national restructuring and his deep commitment to Nigeria’s transformation will set the tone for the discussions that follow.

In addition to Bishop Edoro, the event will feature contributions from renowned think tanks and advocacy organizations that are leading the charge for Nigeria’s restructuring. Among the confirmed participants are the Movement for National Reformation, founded by the late Chief Anthony Enahoro, and The Patriots, led by His Excellency, Chief Emeka Anyanoku. These groups have long been at the forefront of efforts to reshape Nigeria’s political and social landscape, advocating for change that would foster greater unity, justice, and prosperity for all Nigerians.

Prominent Nigerian thought leaders and change advocates such as Dele Farotimi, Omoyele Sowore, and others—who are deeply passionate about Nigeria’s future—will also lend their voices to the conversation, bringing their expertise, zeal, and commitment to the table. Together, they will analyze and deepen the conversation surrounding Nigeria’s most urgent challenges and offer practical solutions that can be implemented in the pursuit of national unity.

Why Attend and Support ART 2025?

The 2025 Apostolic Round Table is not just an event; it is a critical moment for Nigeria, and indeed Africa, to come together, discuss its most pressing challenges, and take decisive steps toward meaningful change. It is a unique opportunity to engage with influential leaders, thought makers, and policy shapers who are dedicated to the future of Nigeria and the continent.

As stakeholders in Nigeria’s transformation, your attendance and support are crucial. The dialogue and outcomes from ART 2025 have the potential to catalyze a national movement for unity, peace, and prosperity—one that will resonate far beyond the walls of the event itself.

The ART 2025 is a platform for collective action, where ideas and strategies to strengthen Nigeria’s foundation will be crafted. By being a part of this discussion, you are joining a community of changemakers who are determined to shape the future of Nigeria and ensure that it stands as a beacon of hope for Africa.
