The third edition of the Oba Okunade Sijuade annual lecture held in Ife on Friday, July 29. The lecture series which started three years ago, was put together to honour the late monarch and to address germane issues in present day society.
Among
this year’s dignitaries and invited guests was African Hub, whose
corporate presence at the event was completed by the brand ambassador,
Damilare Kuku. The African Hub contingent was warmly received by the
Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. The brand ambassador, Damilare Kuku,
was officially introduced to the king and she had the honour of engaging
the Ooni in a chat after which the Ooni treated the African Hub
delegation to a tour of the palace.
Oba
Adeyeye Ogunwusi was intimated with the activities of African Hub and
the drive of the organisation. His Imperial majesty expressed delight at
the fact that the organisation was pursuing such a lofty ideal, and he
particularly expressed his admiration for the representatives of the
African Hub present at the lecture. The first-class royal father
maintained that, like African Hub is doing, it is a necessity to have
young entrepreneurs working hard to bring development to the nation and
the continent at large. He called on the entrepreneurs not to get
discouraged and never to give up.
