The Annual Christopher Kolade lecture series (in honour of Dr. Christopher Kolade , CON) is a forum for businesses to engage with experts and with each other on business integrity issues.
The first edition of this programme which held on June 27th, 2013 was borne out of the need to reward distinguished individuals who stood with the organization in its crucial history from inception till date. The decision that the programme be named after the then chairman of the Governing Board of The Integrity organization ( Dr. Christopher Kolade) was arrived at a time when the organization found it expedient to mark his landmark year- his 80th year.
Every year since then, the lecture series has tackled a number of trending issues affecting business integrity and corporate governance in both the public and private sector and has involved distinguised guests from both within and outside the country, in dialogue on the best way forward regarding governance, leadership and ethics in Nigeria.
