His lecture was titled “Re:engineering University Graduates for Relevance in Industry.” The lecture was delivered to students and staff of the university, particularly the Faculty of Arts with the strong presence of the students from the Department of Performing Arts and Films Studies. This lecture is the first to be hosted by the Faculty of Arts of the university.
