The statement, made available by the Publicity Secretary of GOCOP, Remmy Nweke, quoted Nmodu as saying the AGF will be held at Abuja Continental Hotel (Old Sheraton) in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja on October 5, 2023 at 10am
He also said the theme for the 2023 conference is: “Nigeria: Roadmap for Socio-Economic Recovery and Sustainability.”
