Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State will, on Tuesday, February 25, lead other notable speakers to discuss the future of Nigeria, at the third annual lecture of Freedom Online in Lagos.
A statement by the Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief of the online newspaper, Gabriel Akinadewo, says Sanwo-Olu who is the Guest Speaker, will be addressing the theme: ‘Nigeria: Foundation, Fundamentals, Future’.
Venue is Sheraton Hotel Ikeja, Lagos.
Other dignitaries expected at the event include Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi who is the chairman of the occasion, former Ogun State Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel (Special Guest of Honour); former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George (Keynote Speaker) and Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu (Guest of Honour).
Others are former Police Affairs Minister, Navy Captain Caleb Olubolade; Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland Iba Gani Adams; Senior Research Fellow, Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana, Accra, Prof. Akinyemi Onigbinde, and President, Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) Mr. Isah Mustapha.
According to Akinadewo, “Nigeria’s political, economic and social fabric is disintegrating due to the foundation of the country and something urgent must be done. Insecurity does not recognise a Christian or Muslim, it has no respect for APC or PDP. The security situation now is precarious. We must do a proper x-ray of the foundation of our security, our economy, our politics for Nigeria’s future to be secured”.
