Daily Times Nigeria to Host Centenary Event in Lagos

Daily Times Nigeria is set to celebrate its centenary on November 3 with a significant event in Lagos at Harbour Point. The gathering will convene policymakers, business leaders, and stakeholders to discuss Nigeria's development priorities, focusing on issues such as informal employment, energy access, infrastructure, and investment attraction.

The event, themed “Honouring the Past, Shaping the Future,” will feature the DTN@100 Times Heroes Awards, recognizing individuals and institutions that have significantly contributed to Nigeria's political, economic, social, and cultural development. Bolaji Okusaga, Chairman of the awards council, emphasized the importance of learning from history while inspiring future contributions.

The initiative includes ‘The Nigerian Grand Book, National Book of Changemakers,’ which documents the achievements of distinguished Nigerians, with a foreword by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The event builds on a previous gathering held on September 3, 2026, in Abuja, attended by notable figures including Senator George Akume and Dr Akinwumi Adesina.
