Bamigbetan & Akinnola. |
Three eminent Nigerians have joined the
list of speakers at the News Express 6th Anniversary Lecture
& Economic Forum holding next week Tuesday, November 20, 2018, at the main
hall of Sheraton Hotel & Towers, Ikeja, Lagos. They are the Honourable
Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Lagos State, Kehinde Bamigbetan;
Executive Director of Media Law Centre, Richard Akinnola; and Manager,
Corporate Communications and Public Affairs, Nigeria LNG Limited, Andy Odeh.
“A seasoned journalist, politician and administrator, Bamigbetan
boasts about two decades experience in government, so he is in a pole position
to speak on how successive governments in Lagos State have been able to raise
the bar of development and retain the state’s title as Centre of Excellence,” News
Express Publisher, Mr. Isaac Umunna, said in a statement issued on
Monday in Lagos.
On Akinnola and Odeh, he said: “A renowned activist and influencer
widely regarded as one of those who presently constitute the conscience of the
Nigerian Nation, Mr. Akinnola will develop the Lecture theme, Transparency
– Bedrock of Sustainable Development, from the populist perspective.
“On his part, Mr. Odeh, a communication and boardroom expert, will
offer useful insight into how Nigeria LNG has been able to emerge as a
world-class company and the poster boy of Corporate Nigeria.”
“We are happy to have Messrs Bamigbetan, Akinnola and Odeh agree
to join our list of eminent speakers at the News Express 6th Anniversary
Lecture & Economic Forum. They are, no doubt, a good complement for the
Managing Director of Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), frontline activist and
administrator, Ms. Hadiza Bala Usman, who was earlier announced as the main
speaker of the day,” Umunna said in the statement.
He described the
News Express Anniversary Lecture and Economic Stakeholders’ Forum as “an annual
programme that has an established trend of bringing together important business
and political leaders from across the country, as well as multifarious
professionals and influential media stakeholders.”
News Express, which
debuted on August 29, 2012, is one of Nigeria’s most popular and influential
online dailies. It is read by hundreds of thousands of people around the world
and records annual traffic of upwards of 100 million.
