"It was a pleasure to serve as the Chairman of the 7th Zik lectures series", says Senate President.

Senate President, Bukola Saraki was delighted to have been made the chairman of the 7th Nnamdi Azikwe lecture series held at Nnamdi Azikwe University in Akwa, Anambra State.

Saraki said "The great Zik was a pioneer of African Liberation Movements, one of those who intellectual rigours, vision, and mission as well as tenacity helped free Nigeria from the shackles of Colonialism, and won us our independence.

"Zik did not only move Nigeria, he moved the world. Just the other day, I was reading how, nearly seventy years ago at the British Peace Congress, held in 1949, Chief Azikwe demanded for Nigeria independence; and denounced the imperial rule at the seat of imperialism itself.

Saraki further stressed that "Azikwe never stopped speaking for Nigerians, for Africans, and black people all over the world.

"I am sure you agree with me when I say that the immeasurable contributions of such a person like Zik must never be forgotten. In bringing to remembrance his towering achievements, we also remember that we once achieved, together as a nation.

He finally said "As we remember Zik today, we must also remind ourselves what we can still do to overcome the challenges of today, and we are inspired to strive for better, and lift up our beloved country, as Zik once did."
