The event will take place at 10:00 AM prompt at the University Auditorium.
Professor Usman cordially invited members of the University Community and the general public to attend the important academic event, which he said would enrich intellectual discourse and stimulate critical reflections on Nigerian literary text analysis amid the multifaceted challenges confronting Nigeria.
Members of the public are encouraged to attend and be part of this significant academic engagement.
Inaugural lectures are the highest academic forum in Nigerian universities where a professor presents the findings of their research and intellectual journey to the public. At PAAU, the series has become a key platform for showcasing scholarship and research with policy relevance. Since Professor Salisu Ogbo Usman became Vice-Chancellor in February 2026, the university has prioritized academic visibility and research dissemination. The 28th lecture under PAAU and 11th under his administration reflects the institution’s commitment to positioning its faculty at the center of national conversations on language, literature and development.
