The lecture will highlight the enduring relevance of the humanities in addressing Africa’s developmental challenges within a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
Obanor is expected to explore how justice, civic ethics and youth empowerment can guide Africa’s digital transformation in a manner that safeguards human dignity and democratic accountability.
A statement by the Chairman of the Organising Planning Committee, Francis Shonubi, described the keynote address as one of the highlights of the faculty’s week-long diamond jubilee celebration, with the theme: “Humanities as the Tech Solution to Global Crisis in 21st Century Africa.”
