All roads lead to Ikeja, Lagos on Tuesday, March 22, as Freedom Online, one of Nigeria’s fastest growing online newspapers hosts its fourth annual lecture.
A statement by the Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief, Freedom Online, Gabriel Akinadewo, said the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, would be the guest speaker, while a former governor of Kaduna State, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, would chair the session and a former governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, would deliver the keynote speech.
A former Anambra State governor, Mr Peter Obi, is the special guest speaker, while a former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Olabode George, is the special guest of honour.
Other guests to grace the occasion include a former Police Affairs Minister, Navy Captain Omoniyi Olubolade (retd.); immediate past Director-General, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, Dr Dakuku Peterside; Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams; and Prof Akin Onigbinde.
The statement by Akinadewo said the lecture was an annual event “that brings together captains of industry, media chiefs, politicians and professionals to reflect on national issues and propose an objective course of action. We have always been forthright on matters of Nigeria’s progress and future.”
“Since the first edition of our annual lecture, we have been inspired by the commitment of our guests and Nigerians in the quest for a better country through advocacy. We believe this time around, the same zeal will be deployed in ensuring that Nigeria takes its rightful place in the comity of nations,” he added.
