MC of any event,both online and offline

The Labour Party presidential flag bearer in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, will, on Saturday, deliver the convocation lecture of American University of Nigeria (AUN), Yola, as the institution clocks 20.

Spokesman for Peter Obi Media Reach, Mr Ibrahim Umar, made this known in a statement on Friday in Abuja.


According to Umar, Obi’s keynote address at the university’s 16th Founder’s Day falls in line with his public speeches in notable educational institutions globally, including Harvard University, and Yale University, among others.

Umar said that the occasion would also be used to honour the Founder of the university and former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, for his numerous contributions to the society, especially his advancement of education and human development.

“The 16th Founder’s Day lecture will be the highlight of activities marking the 20th anniversary of the founding of the American-style Development University.

“In the university, students are educated to direct their learning and research outcomes toward addressing the socio-economic challenges of the African continent.

“In the 20 years of its establishment, the numerous community service and outreach projects executed by students, alumni, faculty, and staff have earned the Development University a spot among the top three Nigerian universities in Times Higher Education (THE’s) 2024 global impact ranking.


“Since its establishment in 2003, AUN has significantly expanded its academic programmes and affiliations with foreign institutions,” he said.

According to him, the university presently hosts the American Window in the north-east zone where students and members of the public can access relevant information about scholarship and research opportunities in the United States.

In his message, the President of AUN, Prof. DeWayne Frazier, welcomed Obi as the keynote speaker and conveyed to him the appreciation of the AUN community for his acceptance of the invitation.


“I am pleased and honoured to announce that the former Executive Governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi, will be our keynote speaker.

“Mr Obi is an accomplished public servant and politician who has spent most of his life providing quality leadership and service to Nigerians.


“He is a champion of education and will be an excellent speaker to celebrate our 20 years,” Frazier said.

Recall that with this development, Obi has joined an elite cast of global personalities who had delivered the institution’s Founder’s Day lecture.

They included: Dr Paul Vita (2019), Prof. Ibrahim Gambari (2009), Bishop Mathew Kukah (2011), former Ugandan Vice-President, Dr Gilbert Bukenya (2013) and Prof. Charles Soludo (2012) and Prof. William Bertrand of Tulane University

The relationship crumbled so fast

President Bola Tinubu, yestersday, at the prestigious Palais des L’Élysée, told France President, Emmanuel Macron, that a starved nation will not care about weather or environment, and that in the 21st century no child should go to bed hungry.


President Tinubu at a high-profile meeting with President Macron also affirmed Nigeria’s strong commitment to enhancing cooperation in key sectors such as food security, energy, solid minerals, education, and defense. At a joint press conference, President Tinubu highlighted the vast, yet largely untapped potential within Nigeria’s agricultural sector and beckoned international investors to capitalize on the nation’s welcoming investment climate.

Tinubu in a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, said: “The French-Nigeria Business Forum is doing a lot already, but we need to do more on food security. We cannot help but invest in another’s country.”

He emphasised Nigeria’s flourishing financial sector as a facilitator for foreign investment, particularly from French enterprises, as part of the drive to bolster food security.


“Nigeria’s financial sector is evolving and flourishing. We are also creating grounds for investment in Nigeria’s economy for French nationals, especially in the area of food security.

“It is our responsibility to put together a food security programme for the private sector to come and invest in the country.

“We are working on stability and we are getting closer and closer, but we can do better and better,” the President stated.

President Tinubu said Nigeria’s economy was being repositioned for more Foreign Direct Investment that will directly impact the livelihood of the citizens.

“I can assure you that Nigeria is open for business and close to this, we have a vibrant youth population that is educated, and ready to be trained in various areas of entrepreneurship and development,” he said

The President implored the French government to extend to Nigeria trainings that will develop the youthful population.

“Furthermore, we should de-risk the opportunities in the solid minerals. We have the potentials and we have agreed on a deeper and deeper relationship,” the President added.

President Tinubu noted that Nigeria, like most African nations, had been preoccupied with tackling issues of food security.

“A starved nation will not care about weather or environment, and in the 21st Century no child should go to bed hungry,” he told the French President, and his delegation.

“If an African child is given a glass of milk in a class, there will be no problem in getting him to return and stay in school to learn. The more educated the children are, the better it is for us,” he said.

On security, the President said: “Nigeria is a partner in progress. We are ready to partner France so that we can have security operations that will stop the challenge of migration.”

President Tinubu said the blue economy in Nigeria also provides a huge opportunity for investment, with unexplored potentials in fishery.

“In Lagos, we have tamed the Atlantic ocean. For us, fishery is an important aspect of investment.

“We want to assure the French investment community that Nigeria is open for business. It shall be easy in, and easy out,” the President noted.

President Macron acknowledged President Tinubu’s state visit as a milestone heralding deeper bilateral relationships, particularly emphasizing collaborative growth in creative industries and youth-focused initiatives.

The French President noted that the global humanitarian challenges could only be solved with governments working together.

“We have confidence that you, Mr President will reinforce our relationship with Nigeria, and it will cover the West Coast region, with ECOWAS playing the leading role.
“I will seek your leadership to work as partners of progress. You are the great leader of the great country in Africa.

“We appreciate your visionary leadership and energy in transforming the economy of your country. We will work together for collective, global success,” he said.

President Macron had earlier assured that he would encourage more investments in the solid minerals sector, with the signing of an agreement, during a political meeting where the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Mr. Dele Alake, made a presentation on the potentials.

Earlier, President Tinubu and First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu were welcomed with full honours at Hotel Les Invalides and Palais De l’Élysée by President Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron.
