The senator representing Ondo South, Jimoh Ibrahim, will be a guest at the University of Oxford, England, on December 7, when he will speak to speak on ‘mega projects’.
He will pair with Australian Prime Minister Julia Gilland at this year’s edition of Oxford Major Programme Management Conference to share experiences as a scholar, businessman, politician, and statesman.
An invitation letter by BT Professor and Chair of Major Programme Management of the Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford, Daniel Armanios, said Ibrahim will share his experience about the establishment of the Fortune University at Igbotako in Ondo State.
The senator’s doctoral thesis in the United Kingdom (UK) university was based on abandoned mega projects.
Armanios said the conference will host important conversations about the development of major programmes in different regions, including sub-Saharan Africa.
The letter sent by the Conference Technical Chair to Ibrahim, reads: “We are tremendously humbled and honoured to invite you to speak at the 2024 Oxford Major Programme Conference that will be held on December 7, 2024 at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School.
“This conference will bring together practitioners, academics, and global leaders striving to get major programmes, and large-scale initiatives, done.
“This conference will cover a wide range of sectors – from infrastructure, defence and transportation to health and non-profits – and therefore, offers a unique opportunity for partnership, learning, and growth.
“The conference will provide a platform to showcase the global benefits brought by major programmes and identify the leading thought leaders and practitioners in the field.
“The purpose of the conference is to recognise challenges, celebrate successes, and provoke thought in the unique surroundings of the University of Oxford, the oldest university in the English-speaking world.”
