Dear all:
The first prize will be awarded this year during Lead City's convocation ceremony. The money for the prize has been deposited to cover the next ten years and more, and I will add to it each year. When the university informs me, I will let you know who the winner is. I have not gone on any serious fund solicitation as we process affection and memory in different ways.
If I get hold of all his papers, they will all be republished in one big volume and distributed for free.
Thank you.

Subject: Ayo Olukotun Annual Memorial Lecture and Prize, January 13, 2025
Dear all:
On January 13, 2025, we will be inaugurating the Annual Ayo Olukotun Memorial Lecture (poster attached). I have volunteered to be the first speaker. A suggestion is that the date for the subsequent event, from 2026, should coincide with his birthday in May. In addition, we will be inaugurating an annual prize in his honor, Ayo Olukotun Best Prize for a graduate student in International Relations/Political Science.
As both will be in perpetuity, the fund is deposited at Lead City University, where he served as a Professor and Dean. The initial fund to start the prize has been deposited. The first recipient in December will receive a prize of N100,000. As the fund grows, it will pay for the annual memorial lecture.
For the first one, the Chair of the Ceremony is the distinguished Olorunimbe Mamora. We cannot thank him enough for accepting.
The event on January 13, 2025 will comprise brief testimonies by family members, the Lecture, lunch for all students in attendance, lunch for all those in attendance. Beverages will be served, including palm wine, which is Ayo's favorite drink.
If you are willing to donate to the fund, you can send the money direct to
Lead City University
Access Bank
0014074105
Please indicate it is for Ayo Olukotun Endowment and send me the receipt.
Or you can send it to me:

Thank you for keeping alive the memory of this great man.
