He further maintained that the rule of law is not merely a legal construct but the foundation upon which economic progress, investor confidence, and sustainable prosperity rest.
The senior lawyer said the lecture has become one of the country’s most respected intellectual gatherings over the past two decades, bringing together stakeholders in law, governance, business, and civil society.
Tunde-Olowu revealed that the keynote address of this year’s lecture, which will take place on Tuesday, October 14, will be delivered by the former Vice President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (SAN).
He also stressed that a high-level panel of discussants, including the Director General, Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Dr Chinyere Almona; Chairman, Bi-Courtney Group, Dr Wale Babalakin, (SAN); Managing Director, Financial Derivatives Company, Mr Bismarck Rewane; and journalist and public affairs analyst, Dr Reuben Abati, will be in attendance.
Also speaking at the event, a Senior Partner at AELEX, Prof. Fubara Anga (SAN), said that the lecture provides a non-partisan space for honest engagement on issues of national importance.
“While participants may not always agree, the platform’s credibility ensures robust, respectful debate,” Anga said.
He added that this year’s discussion will spotlight practical issues such as property rights, the sanctity of contracts, regulatory powers, and dispute resolution, all crucial for attracting investment and driving Nigeria’s economic revival.
