A member of the NUJ Lagos Information Chapel 2023 Ramadan Lecture Planning Committee, Bode Lawal, in a statement said the 17th edition is scheduled for the Adeyemi Bero Auditorium, Alausa, Ikeja.
The lecture is themed “Home as the bedrock of a better society” and commences at 10:00 am prompt will feature Dr. Isa AbdulMujeeb, the Medical Director of Our Friend Hospital, Ogba and Dr. Ganiu Bamgbose of Lagos State University (LASU) Ojo as guest speakers.
Chairman of the planning committee, Taofeek Lawal said the two scholars will deliver lectures on the topics ‘Islamic perspectives as a panacea to insecurity in the nation’ and ‘Inordinate greed for wealth: Expected role of parents in modeling children towards an effective nation building’, respectively.
Lawal said the speakers will bring different perspectives, enriching and deepening the conversation of the lecture initiated about two decades ago.

Lawal, a spokesman for Lagos State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board, said that the NUJ annual Ramadan Lecture of the Lagos Information Chapel has gained prominence due to its focus on issues of national importance.
He appealed to members of the chapel and the public to attend the lecture, saying that they would benefit immensely from doing so.
