Dear

The
60th Birthday Colloquium/Cultural Evening in
Honour of Kunle Ajibade



As you might be aware, our

2018.
To
honour him, the Friends of Kunle Ajibade and other well

his honour on Wednesday May 30 at the Nigerian Institute of

followed by a Cultural Evening/Poetry Reading at
Freedom Park, Broad Street, Lagos by 5p.m. on the same
day.



The Colloquium, which would be
led by Professor Wole Soyinka, the 1986 winner of the Nobel
Prize for Literature, is on
A Bright Future for Nigeria and How to Get
There. This would involve a number of notable
speakers including Dr. Kingsley Chiedu
Moghalu; Mrs. Ayo Obe; Mr. Femi Falana (SAN); Ms.
