Popular columnist and communication scholar, Prof Farooq Kperogi and seasoned economist, Dr Titus Olowokere are set to brainstorm on the scourge of hunger and hardship currently ravaging Nigerians with possible prescriptions on how the nation can come out of the pang.
The popular monthly interview discourse, Boiling Point Arena, which holds this coming Sunday March 10, 2024, is the platform for the discussion scheduled for a two-hour duration from 8pm.
Both Prof Kperogi and Dr Olowokere are pencilled as discussants at the current affairs programme holding via Zoom and to be transmitted live on Sweet 107.1FM.
The topic of discourse is: “Nigeria in the Throes of Hardship, Hunger and Economic Realities – What Are The Quick Fixes and Sustainable Solutions?”
The duo are to offer perspectives into how Nigeria’s economy got into this present sorry pass which is a consequential fallout of the removal of oil subsidy, the grossly devalued Naira, increasing prices of food items and how the government can navigate a way out of the economic mess.
An award-winning Author and Writer, Kperogi is a Professor of Journalism and Emerging Media at the Kennesaw State University, Georgia, USA while Dr Olowokere is President and Chief Executive Officer of the United States-Nigeria Trade Council based in Atlanta.
