Harvard’s ‘Nigeria in the World’ seminar, hosted by the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs serves as a forum for scholars, researchers, policy makers, and professionals to reflect on critical issues pertaining to Nigeria’s relations with the world by focusing on strategic issues of security, regional stability, economic development, interreligious relations, health policy, human rights, justice, and gender.
Its overarching goal is to bring Nigeria into dialogue with world issues. While in Harvard, Osinbajo will also visit the Divinity School and the African Studies Center.
