USA Africa Dialogue Series - RE: Conference

Gloria: I am soooo green with envy! Right from its inception, and the well-crafted conference program, I knew this would be the Falola-associated function not to miss. I was prepared to return to surprise Toyin. Unfortunately, travel weariness from and an enduring flu attack since return from a 10-day trip to Nigeria last month, made a return visit impossible. So, this fairly detailed "what-next" report of the conference/celebration is manna. Thank you! Your suggestions are spot on, and I support ALL or any one of them, the TFUniversity one being the most appealing (despite the proliferation of private universities in Nigeria). Toyin has certainly laid the groundwork for that, and I think there is enough goodwill amongst enough of us – the beneficiaries of his legacy – to keep the torch burning. Thank you so much for your ideas and leadership. Next move?

 

Cheers,

Pam

 

p.s.

Is your presentation available on line or must we wait until formal publication of the conference proceedings?

 

Cheers,

A great conference, with great scholarly discussions eminent scholars  and numerous simultaneous panels.Very well organized indeed.

I enjoyed every minute  of it. Thank you.

 

 In the next birthday celebration, the cutting of a birthday cake  should be accompanied by

celebratory "washing" of the foundation stone or building of the Toyin Falola University.

 

Funding could be arrived at from grants and donations. The university could

 be self- sustainable as a private university. The TF Library complex would be installed in the institution.

 

 Another option  for funds is  the investor model, whereby 1000 investors contribute 

200 dollars each or thereabouts as initial funding  -  with the expectation of returns on

their investment at a specified time.

 

Or we can have a  community project involving

solar energy, waste disposal,  a  hospital or medical  equipment but the TF University sounds

best to me.
