 Dear
 Friend/Colleague/Well-wisher,






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



 As you might be aware, our
 friend and colleague, Kunle Ajibade, a rounded
 journalist, author of Jailed for
 life, and
 What a Country!, an omoluabi to
 the core, will be 60 years old on May 28,
 2018.
 To
 honour him, the Friends of Kunle Ajibade and other well
 wishers are putting together a one-day Colloquium in
 his honour on Wednesday May 30 at the Nigerian Institute of
 International Affairs (NIIA) on Kofo Abayom
  Street, Victoria Island, Lagos by 10a.m. It would be
 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.
 Ayisha Osori, Mr. Owei Lakemfa, etc. The
  Cultural Evening will comprise tributes, readings and
 music, involving poets, solo saxophonists, drummers and
 other performance artistes.



 While looking forward to your
 attendance of these events, we also urge you to offer your
