President Sudarkasa Meets with Former Nigerian President

Nnamdi Azikiwe, '30 (*•<» A high point of President Niara Sudarkasa's recent trip to Nigeria was a visit to the Onuiyi New Haven, Nsukka home of the Right Honorable Dr. Nnamdi Azi- kiwe, '30, Nigeria's first president. Dr. Azikiwe, who is maintaining his ties with Lincoln in a very real way through the elder of his two youngest sons (Lincoln freshman Molokwu Azikiwe), sent his regards to his fellow alumni and expressed disappointment at being unable to attend his 60th class reunion. Dr. Azikiwe, born in Nigeria in 1904, is a political scientist, author, journalist, editor, educator and orator who led Nigeria's fight against colonialism and championed the cause of the working class. The first Nigerian to be appointed president of Republican Nigeria, he is the founder of the National Convention of Nigeria and the Cameroons—the first nationwide political party in what would become two separate independent countries. President Sudarkasa's speaking tour, which included visits to Lagos, Ibadan, Ife, Enugu, Nsukka, Benin, Cotonou, and Abidjan (Ivory Coast), was sponsored by the United States Information Agency (USIA). She left the states on December 28, 1989, and returned January 17, 1990. Her itinerary included meetings with five college presidents and an address to the faculty convocation at the University of The Right Honorable Dr. Nnamdi Nigeria (UNN) in Nsukka. UNN was founded by Dr. Azikiwe, who modelled it af- President Niara Sudarkasa and the Azikiwe, '30. ter Lincoln and America's land grant institutions. Right Honorable Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, '30.
