EbonyLife TV,
Africa’s
first Global Black entertainment and
lifestyle network, is set to host
President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR), and
young professionals in
Washington, D.C. to a
‘Meet & Greet’ interactive
session in honour and commemoration of the President’s momentous visit to
the United States of America on the 21st of July,
2015.
The Meet & Greet,
an EbonyLife televised interactive event
with Mr.
President and Young
Nigerian Professionals will include scholars and professionals from
all over the United States. The
event has essentially been designed as an
avenue to meet with, and
interact with Mr.
President, on the prospects and
challenges involved in the governance of
Africa’s most populous nation and
the role that our young professionals need to
play.
The EbonyLife TV Meet
& Greet is being held at the prestigious Embassy
of the Federal Republic
of Nigeria in Washington DC,
home to Nigeria in Washington D.C, an
absolute honour for EbonyLife TV and our invited
guests. EbonyLife TV
continues to soar daily as the most vibrant platform
watched by the youth and
young professionals around the world and the Meet
& Greet is in continuation of
the channel’s tradition of celebrating the best
of Africa and indeed,
Nigeria, as well as an extension of the nation
building
role it played
towards the 2015 General Elections. According to the
Executive Chairman and CEO of EbonyLife TV, “As a
channel
quintessentially made
for the youth, home and abroad, we are
extremely pleased that
President Muhammadu Buhari appreciates the youth
and has demonstrated this
commitment and passion even
on this historical
event to Washington DC by
agreeing to include them in his very busy programme schedule. As such, he
will be meeting with Young Nigerian
Professionals in the Diaspora at this
important Meet & Greet being organised by our
channel. For this, we’re very
grateful to Mr. President and his hardworking
team.” At a similar forum in
June 2015, the channel hosted the former
Chairman of the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor
Attahiru Jega, to an
interactive session with the Nigerian youth, tagged
‘Afternoon Tea with Professor
Jega’. At this session in Lagos,
young and futuristic professionals from
every sector of the economy
were in attendance to
engage and dialogue with the
highly respected Professor on some of the
critical issues leading to,
during and after the 2015 general elections. About EbonyLife TV EbonyLife TV,
