In a major national broadcast, the foremost international diplomat and Chair of the Eminent Leaders of Thought Group known as The Patriots announced that the National Dialogue, which is aimed at mobilising Nigerians towards breaking the barriers against the cohesion and good governance of the country, will hold in honour of the Late Prof Ben Nwabueze (SAN), a foremost Champion and Protagonist for the convocation of the 2014 National Confab inaugurated 10 years ago on March 17, 2014 by President Goodluck Jonathan and whose body was laid to rest last month in his home town in Atani, Anambra State.
