The lecture tagged:
“The Role of The Press in Promoting Diplomatic Relations in Africa will hold at

The book which was
written by a Nigerian journalist, Ajayi Oluwapelumi Tobi, a documentation of
the activities of Nigerians and Nigeria High Commission in Ghana and other West
African countries, recently received the endorsement of Ambassador Oluseyi
Onafowokan who described the compendium as an insightful piece of journalistic
work that has recorded happenings of history for prosperity toward fostering
Nigeria-Ghana relations.
Emphasising the
importance of the book in the academia, Ambassador Onafowokan likened the
publication to a barometer “to gauge the temper and tempo of diplomatic issues
that affect the sub region at large in the last four years, particularly at the
official level of ECOWAS.
“Teeming Nigerian
students who constantly journey to Ghana to study in the country’s tertiary
institutions will find the book useful as a sort of Students’ Companion, as the
reports will give them a good orientation of their host country vis-à-vis the
pertinent challenges, the socio-cultural disparity and the economic ramifications
that they would need to adjust to in order to have a peaceful and purposeful
sojourn in Ghana.”
Dignitaries

Ambassador William Azumah Kanyirige, Chief Dele Momodu, publisher of Ovation
International magazine, as well as students, heads of trade and the organised
sector in Ghana.
