Professor Anya O. Anya will on Tuesday, October 15, deliver TheNiche Newspaper second annual lecture.
Anya, former chief executive officer of the Nigeria Economic Summit Group, NESG, and scholar of international repute, will speak on ‘Business and Accountable Governance: The Obligation of Leadership’.
The event which has been scheduled to take place at the Nigeria Institute of International Affairs, NIIA, Victoria Island, Lagos at 10 am, will be chaired by former diplomat, boardroom giant, and academic, Dr. Christopher Kolade.
The lecture series is the contribution of TheNiche to a Nigeria of everyone’s dream, an avenue for thinkers and experts to rub minds on the best way to grow the polity and economy.
TheNiche, published by Acclaim Communications Limited, started the series last year, which also marked the fourth anniversary of the newspaper.
Last year’s lecture was delivered by Professor Kingsley Moghalu, presidential candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) in the 2019 election; and chaired by Professor Remi Sonaiya, presidential candidate of KOWA party in 2015.
A statement issued by TheNiche Executive Editor, Oguwike Nwachukwu, noted that “this year, Anya, a professor of biology and one of Nigeria’s finest intellectuals, will stir minds in the debate, in line with our pledge last year to do so.”
Nwachukwu further stated that “At the event, TheNiche will also recognise some individuals and corporate bodies who have shown commitment to industry, good governance, and accountability in their activities that are in public interest.”
Dignitaries expected at the lecture include governors, traditional rulers, public servants, captains of industry, the media, and key members of civil society organisations.
