I often attend Inaugural lectures wherever I find myself in academic environments in whatever field it centres on.
In one of the lecture series I attended, I walked home with a man who asked a very pungent question. He said with all our intelligent professors and educative lectures what good have they brought to the society? How has Nigeria as a whole progressed?
It is food for thought.
If only our numerous projects, theses and researches can leave the shelves and go to town!
Money is not everything. When we get degrees is it just for our self aggrandisement or wealth? The ultimate law is love, so says the Bible and we align with it in TLF. Love starts with a smile, grows with a trust, and ends with satisfaction. The satisfaction that all God has endowed on us and our knowledge gotten, must necessitate that we take our "gowns" to "town." Let us impact where God has sent us to. How can our society develop if we do not apply even our academic knowledge?
I celebrate with all our inaugural lecturers, they have done their own and done so excellently. We commend and congratulate all inaugural lecturers. Thank you.
