The event was held on PushpastlO virtual social media platform with live broadcast on various media outlets, The exercise entailed presentations by NJAM’s Chairman, Economist Mr. Kent Vital, and other members of the executive. Among others, NJAM used the opportunity to highlight its concerns with regards to the poor state of the economy, the plight of the nation’s youth, persistent disrespect for the rule of law, habitual abuse of office by the Executive, and unsatisfactory progress on the burning issue of electoral reform.
NJAM pledged to establish working groups (sub-committees) that will be tasked with priority development issues and invited the public to consider membership of the organization.
