Listening with rapt attention at the recently held enriched Lecture at the PTDF Tower in Abuja. On the right is Mallam Abubakar Jidda Usman, a renowned Kaduna-based journalist and a very close friend of the Valuechain Magazine, while next to him is yours sincerely.
The annual Lecture, one of the Energy Magazine’s most precious events that bring together, creme de la creme of the energy industry’s stakeholders, not only from within Nigeria but also from across Africa and beyond, no doubt, “moves with the speed of gas”.
Planning and articulation for the event’s 9th edition begins almost immediately, especially considering the associated excruciating logistical burden, contacts and responses that are rooted in the successes recorded from previous editions. It’s quite uncommon.
What interests one is that His Highest, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, CFR, CNOL, JP, the 15th Emir of Kano, has never failed Valuechain in graciously honouring the editions with his presence and soothing balm speech as Royal Father of each of the Lecture’s Day. May Allah’s continued protection, guidance and good health remain his ultimate gratitude to the Almighty Allah.
There are various dignitaries too numerous to mention, raging from speakers and panelists who added glamour to the event, just as usual. Valuechain remain ever grateful to all of you.
