--Dear Sir/Ma,SPECIAL INVITATION TO THE 6TH ANNUAL LAW AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT LECTURE AND THE PRESENTATION OF THE BOOK: 'LAW AND PRACTICE OF THE NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL COURT'We are pleased to invite you as a Special Guest to this year's Law and Social Development lecture taking place on the 2nd of December, 2013 at 11 a.m. at the Banquet Hall, Airport Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos. The topic for this year's lecture is The Economy, the Rogues and the Law: The Development Conundrum. We also use this medium to invite you to the presentation of the book, 'Law and Practice of the National Industrial Court' on the same date, at the same time and venue.The economy cannot but occupy the front burner of public discourse in Nigeria. Without doubt, the economy, in spite of the bright statistics routinely dished out by relevant agencies of government, cannot be more dismal. The wide gulf between the statistics and the standards of living of the people can be seen in the gloomy results the country perennially posts on human development indices prepared by recognized institutions or organisations. Unemployment is now at an all-time high and even then it is getting worse. Education, public and private, has become a huge joke. The ongoing strike by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is only symptomatic of the comprehensive decay in that sector. The power or energy deficit, as some like to call it, in spite of the rapacious privatization of that sector, remains one of the darkest testimonials of the crisis of the Nigerian economy, a crisis that is wrought at once by greed and graft. The economy is clearly in the throes of a mortal crisis. Millions of our people cannot afford decent square meals; the housing tragedy has both quantitative and qualitative dimensions- many people have no houses to live in, while a great proportion of those who do live in shacks; infrastructures built in the early 70s are deteriorating and disappearing without any replacements; hospitals exist merely in name as no serious consultation or treatment can take place in the face of infrastructural decay. The morale of the people everywhere is low.Are there links between the tragic economic crisis and the reports of mindless looting of the national treasury by those who superintend the economy? What is the connection between the culture of waste and indefensible opulence displayed by public officials and the rot in the economy? Could the problems be solved by the existing laws? If the existing laws are inadequate, how can we fashion necessary and just laws as part of the solutions to the tragedy?We, at Bamidele Aturu and Co, believe that these issues ought to interest us as a people if we are to get out of the economic mess that the greed of some people has inflicted on us. To this end we are devoting this year's Annual Law and Social Development Lecture to probing the issues. We are lucky to have Dr. Sofiri Joab-Peterside, an erudite scholar and globally acknowledged expert in the sociology of development at the University of Port Harcourt present this year's lecture. He has agreed to help us chart a course out of the crisis. Other details of this year's lecture are as follows:TOPIC: The Economy, the Rogues and the Law: The Development ConundrumLECTURER: Dr. Sofiri Joab-PetersideCHAIR: Comrade Ngozi IwereDATE: 2nd December, 2013VENUE: Ondo/Oyo Banquet HallTIME: 11.00 am, promptComrade Ngozi Iwere, a development theorist and social activist in her own right has also graciously agreed to serve as the chair of the event. We are pleased and proud that this worthy daughter of Africa, the first female Public Relations Officer of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) in its heydays, would help to direct affairs of the day.The monograph for last year's Conference on Social Security: Taking the Lives of Nigerians Seriously presented by Professor Adele Jinadu shall be distributed free to participants at the Conference.BOOK PRESENTATIONWe are also pleased to announce that at the Lecture, it shall be our privilege to present to the public the book written by the undersigned titled: 'Law and Practice of the National Industrial Court'.It is therefore with great pleasure that we invite you to the two events on account of your unblemished contributions to the Nigerian society. We shall be eternally grateful if you find time out of your busy schedule to attend this year's events. Although we intend to send by post or courier a formal invitation, kindly accept this as a sufficient invitation in the event that you are unable to receive any other before the events.Thank you and God bless.Yours faithfully,Bamidele Aturu.ForBamidele Aturu and Co*****************************************************************
