Dr Aniebo Roberts, Executive Secretary/CEO of the NEPAD Business Group Nigeria, in a statement on Tuesday, in Abuja, blamed the postponement on a situation beyond their control.
“We regret to announce the postponement of the AU-NEPAD Week event scheduled for In spite of this postponement, we are still mobilising for the event and a new date and venue will be conveyed to you as soon as possible. Meanwhile, we sincerely regret any inconvenience the postponement may have caused you and your organisation,” it said.
