Abstract
It is a great privilege and honour to have been invited to address this distinguished audience. For this, permit me to place on record my gratitude to the Vice Chancellor, Professor Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, the University of Lagos Alurnni Association, Lagos State Branch and the University of Lagos community. When the Vice Chancellor mentioned the idea of deli vering the 2018 Professor Adetokunbo Babatunde Sofoluwe Memorial Lecture to me, I immediately expressed my excitement at the prospect. Then, he saddled me with the responsibility of picking my own topic. That was where I had my challenge: what topic will be of wider interest, befitting of the memory of this pre-eminent scholar of distinction, and has not been sufficiently discussed.
