Corin
Solarin, daughter of Dr. Tai Solarin of blessed memory,
relived the fond memories of her father in Lagos today at the end of a 2-kilometre
35-minute walk organised by Tai Solarin Organisation (TSO) in remembrance of
the 21-year anniversary of the social critic’s transition.

the humanitarian legacy of her father with the current sociopolitical and
economic realities of today in Nigeria as the Keynote Speaker.
The Guest Speaker of
the day, Engr. Titi Omo-Ettu who
doubled as a respected board member of TSO and former president of the Association
of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria (ATCON) emphasized the importance of
ICT in 21st century educational curriculum of Nigeria institutions of learning
today.
Among the dignitaries
who cheerfully walked from the National Stadium in Surulere to Yaba Bus Stop en
route Ojuelegba Roundabout were the founding Chairman and current Chairman of
TSO namely Mr. Akinbayo A. Adenubi (mni)
and Tayo Keshinro respectively.
The anchor of the pep
talks at the end of the walk was Sulaiman
Dave Bola-Babs, TSO Coordinator. The Vice Chairman of TSO, Mrs. Abimbola Nwokolo gave the vote of
thanks at the end of the impressive programme at Yaba, Lagos.
A great number of ex-students
of Mayflower School, Ikenne, who attended the great school from the 60s to
recent time, gave a very good account of themselves at the 2015 Tai Solarin
Memorial Walk today. Other admirers of Tai Solarin’s principles and personality
also added their valuable time to the Monday morning event in Lagos. Even the
throng of the masses who Tai Solarin lived and died for in patriotic zeal were
not left out of the motivational talks which took place at the basement of the
newly renovated statue of the great educationist at Yaba Bus Stop, Lagos,
Nigeria.
