Responding, Senators Ekwunife expressed appreciation to the party leadership for the confidence reposed in the committee, assuring that members are fully prepared to deliver on their mandate.
She disclosed that the sub-committee has already commenced strategic planning aimed at ensuring a hygienic and well-managed environment before, during and after the convention.
Ekwunife also invited the Deputy Chairman to the committee’s flagship awareness programme, tagged “Walk for Safe Environment and Safety,” which is designed to sensitize stakeholders and participants on the importance of environmental responsibility ahead of the convention.
The APC National Convention is scheduled to hold on March 28 and 29, 2026.
Reaffirming the committee’s vision, she emphasized that maintaining a clean and safe environment throughout the convention remains non-negotiable.
She further highlighted the sub-committee’s theme, “Cleaner Abuja, Great Convention,” under the broader “Keep APC Convention Clean Initiative,” as a guiding principle for its activities.
