Ethical Dimensions of Citizenship

The theme of the Nigerian Academy of Letter’s Annual Convocation in August 14-15 was Ethical Dimensions of Citizenship. The lead paper in this volume by Professor Francis O. Egbokhare, FNAL was the key lecture delivered at that Convocation, at the University of Lagos, Akoka, Yaba, Lagos on August 14, 2014 while the second paper was delivered at the Scientific Session of the same Convocation by Professor Sola Akinrinade, FNAL. The third lecture by Professor Sam Ukala was delivered at the Annual Lecture at the Delta State University, Abraka on 24 March, 2015. It was originally scheduled for the usual month of mid-February. But owing to the Presidential election which was originally to hold about the same time in February and which was later postponed to 28 March, the Academy rescheduled its Annual meeting to March 24, a few days before the March 28 presidential election.
