THE Realnews Magazine and Publications Limited will hold its Third Anniversary Lecture on Thursday, November 19, 2015. The online medium is focusing this year’s lecture on the economy.
According to the Publisher and Editor, Maureen Chigbo, all the economic indices, ranging from depleting foreign reserve, depreciating value of the naira, the double-digit interest rates, high rate of unemployment, especially amongst the youth, to inflation rate which is now on the increase, show that there is need for a rethink of the economic direction, especially in this civilian administration.
The lecture entitled: “It’s the Nigerian Economy, Stupid”, which will be delivered by Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, a renowned economist and former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), will take place at the Oriental Hotel, Lekki Expressway, Victoria Island, Lagos, by 10.am.
After the panel and interactive session, there will be an investiture of prominent Nigerians into the prestigious Realnews Hall of Fame.
