8th Chief Gani Fawehinmi Annual Lecture +Fuel Hike Strike Update

Yesterday’s, ‘8TH CHIEF GANI FAWEHINMI ANNUAL LECTURE’ was very well attended with a packed hall. The people (from Lagos and Oshun states) who followed the Guest of Honour, Governor Rauf Aregbesola alone numbered over a hundred. All the invited Guests including Justice Pius Aderemi (Chairman) and Professor Omotoye Olorode (Guest Speaker) came in good time.



The programme started with an inter-law faculty quiz among 4 universities. This year’s Lecture was one of the best ever in terms of scholarly depth and analysis of the topic which was made from the socialist perspective of the Nigerian situation. The Guest Speaker (Prof. Olorode) concluded that revolution was inevitable in Nigeria ; rebellion against the status quo arrangement of the economy and politics. According to him, “Nigeria is being run by leaders brainwashed by western world perspective which is the perspective that can only lead to further exploitation of the Nigerian state.” The Lecture was received with a standing ovation. Governor of Osun State, Engr. Rauf Aregbesola on his own part warned against the hijack of the struggle by military forces which would only pull the nation back. At the programme’s end, a hundred people smiled home with 3 free books (including law reports) each.
