Yushau A. Shuaib: RE: [News Update] PUBLIC FORUM ON STATE OF MEDIA AND CITIZEN'S FREEDOM IN NIGERIA: INVITATION AS SPECIAL GUEST

Dear Sirs/Madams,

With such a distinguished Faculty/Panel, no one would wish to miss such an opportunity; least of all myself. I do thank you for inviting me.

Unfortunately I'm in Abuja, coordinating the Second Conference of Auditors-General in Nigeria (on behalf of the Auditor-General for the Federation), running January 27-31st; and, will be unable to join this important gathering you so very well thought out.

Kindly consider me a part of the team, now and in the future; and, forgive my absence.

I'll be most privileged if you could put me in copy of the proceedings and conference materials, please.
