The event, aptly titled "WHERE ARE THE NIGERIANS", saw leaders from different sectors coming together to address the current state of the nation. As the world's seventh most populous country, with a rich cultural heritage and abundant natural resources, Nigeria has the potential to be a global powerhouse. However, the reality is quite different. Despite having a growing economy and a sizable youth population, the country continues to face numerous challenges such as poverty, insecurity, and underdevelopment.

In his keynote address, Gov Hope Uzodimma highlighted the importance of unity and collaboration in addressing these issues. He stressed that Nigeria can only progress if all citizens, regardless of their tribe, religion or political affiliations, come together with a shared vision and purpose. This sentiment was echoed by all the dignitaries present at the event.

Among the esteemed guests was His Imperial Majesty Oba Olufolarin Olukayode OGUNSANWO (JP), a traditional ruler renowned for his commitment to community development and progressive leadership. As a representative of the ALARA of Ilara, the ONIRU of Iruland and the Elegushi of Ikateland, he emphasized the need for traditional rulers to play a more active role in promoting peace and unity among their people.

The event also saw the participation of Gov Babajide ADURAGBEMI OLUSOLA SANWO-OLU, who shared his administration's efforts to improve the living conditions of Nigerians. He highlighted the various initiatives and policies implemented by the Lagos state government, such as the "Smart City" project and the "Lagos State Employment Trust Fund", aimed at creating job opportunities and fostering economic growth.

The public lecture served as an important platform for open and honest discussions about the current state of the nation. Through thought-provoking presentations and engaging discussions, the dignitaries and attendees shed light on the root causes of Nigeria's challenges and proposed potential solutions.

In conclusion, the event was a resounding success, with all attendees agreeing that the key to Nigeria's progress lies in unity and collaboration. As His Imperial Majesty Oba Olufolarin Olukayode OGUNSANWO (JP) aptly put it, "We must remember that we are all Nigerians first and foremost, and we must work together to build a better future for our country." With the strong leadership and commitment of individuals like Gov Hope Uzodimma, Gov Babajide ADURAGBEMI OLUSOLA SANWO-OLU, and traditional rulers like Oba Olufolarin Olukayode OGUNSANWO (JP), there is hope for a brighter tomorrow for all Nigerians.
