Former Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, will on May 2 deliver the Prince Emeka Obasi Inaugural Memorial Lecture at the Agip Recital Hall, MUSON Centre, Onikan, Lagos.
A statement by the Chairman, Advisory Board, Business Hallmark Public Policy Forum (PPF), Sir Marc Wabara, stated that the lecture, which starts at 10am, was organised in honour of the second anniversary of the late founder and publisher of Business Hallmark Newspaper, Prince Emeka Obasi.
According to the statement, Fayemi will speak on the theme, “If this giant must walk: manifesto for a new Nigeria.”
Commenting on the lecture theme, Wabara stated that Nigerian’s consistent inability to address the failure of the Nigerian state to optimally deploy its abundant manpower and resources to fast track its growth and development after six decades of attaining political independence, as well as an overriding desire to sustain Prince Obasi passion for a Nigeria that takes her pride of place in the comity of nations were compelling factors for the choice of the theme
