Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fw: PUNCH is Newspaper of the Year again — The Punch - Nigeria's Most Widely Read Newspaper

Congratulations, Prof. Olukotun, you deserve no less! Thank God, this is a classic is example of a few times when institutions and professional bodies in our obodo country, Nigeria, ever got anything done right. It is quite encouraging and fulfilling when one's good efforts, like the one under reference, are acknowledged. Ride on brother, keep up the good work!

Bimbola Adelakun, big congratulations, too! Your debut novel on the "rusted roof" is an eloquent testimony of your irrepressible talents. Your "second-runner up" position is another proof of your maturing Eagle's wings and the apparent potentials to go global some day. The young must grow. Again, congratulations!!
