I am a member of the USA International Resource Center (IRC) Library in Lagos Nigeria, as such I am privileged not only to have access to some great resources but I have been privileged to attend different events graced by great resource persons.
Tuesday 8th March was the international Women's Day for 2016 and as part of activities lined up by the United States Public Affairs was a programme held on Tuesday the highlight of which was a keynote address by Nigeria's first female Presidential candidate Professor Oluremi Sonaiya a retired professor of French and Applied linguistics from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife.
