THMP Nigeria took-off with on May 29, 2009. After seven (7) meetings and various mail, we concluded that Nigeria is seen by many in office as a "State without a vision." This is the view of many critics in Nigeria and the diaspora. The media was made to understand that the major objective of THMP in Nigeria was to collate issues as regards the ten (10) objective area of the movement starting from October 1st, 2009 to October 1st 2010, when the body will cease to exist.
THMP Nigeria will be moving round the local governments from State to State with the hope that one Town Hall Meeting would spark of consistent meetings with Councilors and Chairpersons, considering that they are the nearest government to the people. If development and growth takes place at this level, it would affect the Nation at a glance. We intend to make stakeholders see the reason to attend and hold themselves accountable for progress rather than blame the government.
Questions bothering leadership, funding and motive was raised. THMP is run a flex-organizing structure of divergent Non-state Actors and Individual membership with the bid to continue the sustenance of the dream as regards to the focal area of concern each interest group and mind. Thus, after submission of collated document, monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the drafted issues and its subsequent solution postulated by the various Hall meeting will be followed up.
Thus, funding is strictly by members as made available from commitment and donation. Furthermore, THMP is a non-political organization with a view to ensure that Non-State Actors who may want to canvass for change can play their role as it concerns their people's choice and opinion.
