A symposium has been put together by Richard Olumakaiye in honour of Nigeria’s former Head of State, retired General Yakubu Gowon, to mark the 40th anniversary of his obtaining a doctorate degree in Political Science at the University of Warwick.
The one day symposium, organised by Olumakaiye, is aimed at engaging students in a discussion about their country.
According to the organiser: “General Gowon was not just the youngest head of state Nigeria has ever had, he was a prominent leader and played a key role in Nigeria’s history.
“Recognising his PhD heritage at the University of Warwick, this one-day symposium is aimed to engage Nigerian students to discuss and share opinions about our vision for our beloved country.
“This is to get perspectives from our speakers on what a Nigerian reformation would look like and what it promises for the state of our economy, happiness, and social existence.
