The event, themed “Reworking Nigeria’s Federalism: Perspectives to Restructuring the Future on Fiscal Federalism”, promises to ignite important national conversations on governance and fiscal reform.

The lecture will commence at 9:00 AM and attract the crème de la crème of Nigeria’s intellectual, traditional, and political elite.

Keynote speaker, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, founder of UN Capital Africa and former Nigerian minister, is expected to deliver a powerful and thought-provoking address.

Dignitaries such as Oba Abdul-Razaq Adenuga, the Ebumawe of Ago-Iwoye, are also slated to attend.

Ambassador Sarafa Tunji-Isola’s vast experience in government and international diplomacy underscores the prestige of this event.

From his early days as a lecturer to his roles as Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Secretary to the Ogun State Government, and Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the UK, Sarafa’s journey has been marked by public service and transformative leadership.

He was notably appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari and served as Chairman of the Accreditation Committee of the Commonwealth Board of Governors.

Now seen as a frontrunner in Ogun State’s 2027 governorship race, his presence at the Penpushing lecture adds significant political and intellectual weight to the discourse.
