A statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, said the constitution of the committee was approved by the ADC’s National Working Committee (NWC).
The statement said that the composition was in line with the party’s commitment to building a credible, people-centred, and forward-looking policy framework for national governance.

Mr Abdullahi noted that the policy and manifesto committee brought together a distinguished group of Nigerians from diverse backgrounds, including former public officeholders, academics, and professionals.
“Collectively, they represent a wealth of experience in governance, economic management, social development, security, and democratic reform across Nigeria’s public and private sectors.
According to the party, the committee is tasked with articulating a clear, coherent, and credible policy direction reflecting Nigerians’ aspirations and positioning the ADC platform.
The party reaffirmed its belief that Nigeria’s challenges required ideas rooted in competence, integrity, and national consensus to drive sustainable development, unity, stability, and progress.
