At the Lecture, to be chaired by Sam Ohuabunwa, a foremost pharmacist, the key issues of patriotism, the vast untapped potentials of Nigeria and the nagging question of national development will be vigorously x-rayed.
According to Ibe the programme is expected to bring to the front burner of national discourse, the connection between patriotism, which presently seems in short supply, and the need to tap the presently vastly untapped potentials of the country, including the human, solid minerals, agricultural, marine, ICT potentials, for the rapid development of the nation.
The theme of the Lecture is “Patriotism, Untapped Potentials and National Development,” and the event would also be used to honour some individuals and organisations.
