In a statement announcing the lecture, the Publisher/ Chief Executive Officer of ThisNigeria Media Limited, Mr Eric Osagie, said the event was conceptualized as the newspaper’s contribution to critical nation building.
“We are a newspaper of the people, by the people and for the people. That’s why we are called THISNIGERIA. We believe Nigeria is a great country that should have been greater, but for myriad issues confronting her and reasons occasioned by failure of successive leadership. However we believe that crucial conversations on the state and future of our union are a sine qua non to her reaching the heights of her potential. Our annual lecture series will hopefully deepen national conversations on the nation of our dreams, our fears and faith in the democratic project. “
