The event tagged, ‘Biafra: 50 Years After’, was organised by the Shehu Musa Yar Adua Foundation to mark the 50th anniversary of the end of the war which resulted in the death of about 1.5 million women and children who died of starvation.
Some of the personalities present are Ahmed Joda, John Nnia Nwodo, Pat Utomi, Osita Chidoka, and Hakeem Baba Ahmed.
Speaking at the event, former President Olusegun Obasanjo said engaging in dialogue with those agitating for an independent state of Biafra is a way to resolve the issue.
