9:17Now PlayingThe National Conference in the third week of June worked out almost the way those who convened the conference planned it to go.
Delegates at the conference now consider a report a day and still have time for other issues.
With a short report on the highlight of the week, Re-thinking Nigeria for the week also has a perspective from a delegate, but it is not who you think.
The conference appears to have found its rhythm and has settled on its initial plan of considering and completing work on one committee report per day.
The report of the committee on transportation was put forward for consideration. The chairman started with a short summary of the report and then delegates were invited to speak.
After taking contributions from about 8o delegates, it was time to put some of the proposed amendments to a vote and the Secretary of the National Conference Valerie Azinge reeling out the decisions for the delegates to vote.
The report of the committee on social sector was also considered.
The conference also considered the report of the committee on civil society and that of the committee on energy.
During the week, a delegate brought up a matter of urgent national importance on alleged invasion by Cameroonians.
After delegates spoke on the matter, the deputy chairman, Bolaji Akinyemi, said that the conference had been informed that some villages that were awarded to Nigeria by the world court from Cameroons had not been claimed by the Nigerian government and called on the government to do the address the issue.
A heated debate also broke out over a motion calling for more action to be taken to ensure the activities of Boko Haram insurgents do not extend to the south-south region.
The chairman however refused to allow the matter to be discussed further.
The deputy chairman used the chance to inform delegates that being absent from plenary will no longer pay.
The guest of the day, who is the first female delegate on the programme, Mrs Patricia Ogbonnaya, gave her perspective on the week so far.
