Africa Day 2023: Dakuku to Speak on Nigeria’s Leadership Role

Renowned ledership expert and technocrat, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, will speak at the Centre for Pan-African and Peace Studies (CePAPS) of the African University of Science and Technology (AUST), Abuja, as the Centre hosts a special event on May 25 to mark this year’s Africa Day.

A statement released May 17 by Dakuku Peterside Media Team gave the themes for the Africa Day 2023 edition as, “Afrocentric Architecture Defined: Developing New Landscapes for Nigeria Today, Tomorrow and Beyond,” and “The Future of Africa and Nigeria’s Leadership Role.”

Dakuku would speak on “The Future of Africa and Nigeria’s Leadership Role”. In addressing the theme, Dakuku would be expected to identify the parameters of global and continental leadership and try to locate Nigeria in the African nexus of power and leadership.

The occasion would feature speakers and panelists, who would be discussing the importance of Afrocentric architecture in developing new landscapes for Nigeria and the role Nigeria can play in shaping the future of Africa.

The event will take place both on-site at the NNPC Hall, AUST campus in Abuja, as well as zoom online connect as a hybrid format by 11am.

The lecture, which is open to the public, is designed as an interactive and engaging experience for attendees, and it would afford participants the opportunity to network with other professionals in the fields of architecture and leadership.
