We are glad to bring you the first edition of Hardtalk show on the dtube platform. And here is a big “elephant” who played a major and key role in Nigeria's Independence.
His name is Obafemi Jeremiah Oyeniyi Awolowo, a prominent leader, a national figure and a statesman who has contributed greatly to the movement that yielded Nigeria's Independence in 1960.
Late AWO, (as he then was) held several offices amongst the offices is the notable one; he was the then First premier of the Western Region and a distinguished elder in the society that he was named the Leader of Yorubas.
He made education affordable for all and sundry and was able to eradicate illiteracy among Nigerians with his “Free Education Scheme” where government bears the cost of education of all (Public Students) attending government schools across the Western region (as it's then was) during his tenure as premier. Although, it is still in operation but badly utilized and managed.
Due to his numerous achievements and his doggedness as a leader, he was named after the then (University of Ife) now known as Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife, Nigeria.
Although, he is dead his legacy will never depart from Nigeria. He is a true leader and patriotic Nigerian.
