On the second day of the Ebony Herald awards event held at the Stonehedge Hotel in Abuja on November 9th, 2023, Dr. Hassan Gimba, the CEO/Publisher of Neptune Prime, delivered a lecture titled “Renewed Hope for Unity and Progress.”
Drawing from his own written piece, he emphasized the need for political transparency, particularly addressing the All Progressives Congress (APC) and their responsibility to shun hypocrisy.

He urged President Tinubu to address challenges and crisis Nigerians are facing today.
The event also featured the launch of Malam Mohammed Kabir Ilyasu’s book “Critique” amidst calls for positive change in Nigerian society.
