The eloquent director-general of the National Council For Arts and Culture (NCAC), Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, is billed to deliver a lecture titled, `Exploring Tourism and Arts As a Revenue Generation Tool for Nigeria’.
In the same vein, the president of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Comrade Chris Isiguzo, will deliver a lecture with the theme, The Role of the Media in Sustaining Nigerias Democracywhile human rights lawyer, Dr. Kayode Ajulo, will speak on the theme,The Role of the Judiciary in Nigerias Thriving Democracy.
The event will also see some notable Nigerians being honored for contributing their quota to the development of the country.
Publisher/editor-in-chief of National Waves Newspaper and Magazine, Jimmy Enyeh, confirmed this recently. According to him, `We shall also honor some notable Nigerians who have excelled in different endeavors.’ He added that preparations were in top gear to ensure a memorable event.
Enyeh said in spite of the myriad of challenges confronting the print media industry, such as the craving for online patronage which has reduced circulation and shrinking advertising business, making print media face unprecedented pressure to survive, National Waves had been able to stay afloat against all odds.
He, however, implored the Federal Government under the watch of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to partner with the media to showcase government policies and projects in and beyond the shores of Nigeria.
