Nigerian academic, Prof. Abiodun Alao, will today deliver
an inaugural lecture at King’s College, University of London. This would
make him the first ever black African scholar to deliver such lecture
since the institution was established back in 1829.
A professor of African Studies, Abiodun Alao was conferred
with a professorial title about two years ago alongside his Nigerian
counterpart in the institution’s African Leadership Centre - Prof. Funmi
Olonisakin.
This was another milestone that made them both the first
black Africans to attain the professorial cadre in King’s College since
its establishment.
Abiodun Alao’s lecture titled, "Africa: A Voice to be
Heard, Not a Problem to be Solved" will be delivered at the Edward Safra
Lecture Theatre at the college’s main campus & will be attended by
people from different parts of the world including Nigeria, Australia,
Kenya, USA and South Africa.
