News Express Names Speakers for 6th Anniversary
Lecture
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
