Faculty of Arts Alumni Association, University of Lagos, has announced that Dr. LaBode Obanor, President of the League for Social Justice (LSJ), will deliver the keynote address at the 60th Anniversary Public Lecture of the Faculty of Arts, University of Lagos.
The public lecture, titled “From Knowledge to Justice: Reclaiming the Humanities in Africa’s Tech-Driven Future,” is scheduled for Thursday, October 23, 2025, at the Faculty of Arts Auditorium, University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos.
The lecture will highlight the enduring relevance of the humanities in addressing Africa’s developmental challenges within a rapidly evolving technological landscape. Dr. 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 organizers described the keynote as one of the highlights of the Faculty’s week-long diamond jubilee celebration, themed “Humanities as the Tech Solution to Global Crisis in 21st Century Africa.”
Dr. Obanor, a respected commentator and advocate for social justice, leads the League for Social Justice — a civic movement dedicated to advancing rule of law, education equity, and participatory democracy. His work focuses on empowering youth and restoring trust between citizens and institutions through advocacy, policy reform, and public education.
“Education is not merely about information; it is about transformation. The humanities remind us that progress without justice is regression,” Dr. Obanor said ahead of the event.
The anniversary celebrations will feature distinguished scholars, alumni, and public figures reflecting on six decades of the Faculty’s contribution to national development and its vision for the next generation of African thinkers and innovators.
