The event will be moderated by\u00a0 media icon, Prof Tonnie Iredia, OON<\/p>\n<p>The event hopes to bring together leaders from all walks of life including politics, diplomacy,\u00a0 business community and the media, is designed to further deepen discussions on our nation and the way out of the myriad issues confronting her.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement announcing the\u00a0 lecture, the Publisher\/ Chief Executive Officer of ThisNigeria Media Limited, Mr Eric Osagie,\u00a0 said the event was conceptualised as the newspaper&#8217;s contribution to critical\u00a0 nation building.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are a newspaper of the people, by the people and for the people. That&#8217;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 potentials.\u00a0 Our annual lecture series will hopefully deepen national conversations on nation of our dreams, our fears and faith in the democratic project. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>THISNIGERIA joined the vibrant Nigeria media market on September 28, 2020,\u00a0 with a broad, corporate vision of being the leading media, entertainment and digital platform, providing credible, unbiased and factual news reportage of Nigeria,\u00a0 Africa and the world.<\/p>\n<p>With its motto as &#8220;know the truth&#8221; and targeted at readers in the C\u00acSuite, the elite in the politics, business and diplomacy, THISNIGERIA is steadily and surely capturing the hearts of many Nigerians, especially with its captivating headlines, aesthetic designs and in depth\u00a0 reporting.<\/p>\n<p>Osagie, who also doubles as editor-in-chief, says: &#8221; We know where we are going. We may be young as a brand now, but we are undaunted. Our team has the skill and drive to position our newspaper as a leading brand in a not-too distant time.\u00a0 We urge advertisers and readers to keep faith and key in. We are a moving train. And there is no stopping us, &#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The event is scheduled to take place at the Musa Yar&#8217;Adua Centre, Abuja, with Governor Fayemi as chairman.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ekiti State governor and chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum, Kayode Fayemi, eminent cleric and Bishop of the Sokoto archdiocese,\u00a0 Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah, human rights lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekome,&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":88879,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-88877","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Gov.
