Yoruba Nation Assembles For Post-crude Oil Economic Development Discourse
The lecture to be delivered by erudite scholar and immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, is an effort to escalate the discourse within the South-West zone on the state of the Nation and provide deeper insight into the place of the South-West post-2015 national general elections.
The conversation at the lecture will provoke intellectual interrogation on the subject matter, stimulate proper course of action and illuminate the path the zone shall take during the elections.
The Chairman of the occasion is a distinguished son of Yorubaland, one of the most respected leaders in the zone, and defender of the South-West cause in contemporary Nigeria, retired Army General, Alani Akinrinade.
