…Ondo’s Energy Commissioner, Engr. Alabi, Adu ‘Cubana’, scholars, others to grace event
…as Lecture focuses on National security and development
The 16th Annual Lecture and Awards of Ebony Herald International Magazine will commence tomorrow, the 20th of November, at the prestigious Pharmacy House, situated behind Government House, Alagbaka, Akure, Ondo State.
This year’s anniversary is anchored on the compelling theme: “Insecurity and Economic Development in Nigeria: Breaking the Circle of Corruption, Poverty, and Violence.”
It is a timely and thought-provoking subject, reflecting the magazine’s unwavering commitment to national discourse, public enlightenment, and the pursuit of a safer and more prosperous Nigeria.
The opening lecture for the two-week intellectual engagement will be delivered by the Ondo State Honourable Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Engr. Dr Johnson Jaiye Alabi.
His presentation will explore pragmatic solutions to pressing national challenges, including food shortages, insecurity, farmers–herders clashes, and banditry issues that continue to shape the socioeconomic realities of the country.
Also expected to grace the podium are distinguished scholars and public figures, including Prof. Rasak Ojo Bakare of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, alongside seasoned politician and APC chieftain, Barr. Dr Olumuyiwa Adu.
Their perspectives promise to enrich the conversation and inspire actionable ideas for national development.
A major highlight of the celebration will be the investiture of ten eminent personalities into the revered Ebony Herald Hall of Fame and Dignity, in recognition of their outstanding contributions to society, leadership excellence, and service to humanity.
The grand finale of the 16th anniversary is slated for the 2nd of December at the National Merit Award House, Aguiyi Ironsi Street, Maitama, Abuja.
The concluding ceremony will feature powerful lectures, distinguished honours and awards, as well as an anniversary get-together designed to foster camaraderie and reflective celebration.
According to the Publisher of Ebony Herald International Magazine, Alhaji Lai Gidado, this year’s grand finale will maintain the tradition of meaningful surprises, including scholarships and special gifts for brilliant schoolchildren, an enduring testament to the magazine’s passion for youth development and educational empowerment.
