As the icon of the idea of pyratism and the radical actions that have consistently concretized its essence, the founding, in 1994, of an annual public lecture in honor of Professor Wole Soyinka is significant.

The issues addressed by the lectures are globally relevant to the sustenance of man and the continuity of his world. They depict the revolutionary fervor in us as individual and collective stakeholders in our communities.

A mix of activists, intellectuals and political leaders have graced the lecture series, in varying capacity. The themes and subject matters are iconic indexes of the rhetorics of revolutionary change and social justice.
