Excerpt:

Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, Partners, Friends, Colleagues and Guests, on behalf of the Executive Council of Leadership & Governance Canada Inc. (LGC), I am delighted to welcome you to this very special unique event – The Welcome Reception Dinner for Ambassador Adeyinka Asekun and the recognition of few individuals that have exemplified leadership and excellence in our community.

We feel very honoured to have in our midst tonight not just many good and long-standing partners and colleagues, but also many new people/friends who have come to grace this special occasion. We do not take your coming for granted, considering that we are in the very cold season of the year. We sincerely appreciate it!

Your Excellencies, Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, over the years LGC has played the role of a “Path-Finder” in charting the way to creating strong, ethical, principled leadership and strong economic base via programs, projects, conferences and trainings. These among others we will continue to provide as they are fundamental to the achievement of our vision – To set the standard in Leadership and Good Corporate Governance in Public and Private Sectors for the promotion of socio-economic growth and development of our nations. In the coming year, we will be contacting you, our partners to join hands with us in our effort to create platform for the building of a strong, virile and diversified economy for our country, Nigeria. Your past support is sincerely appreciated!

Finally, your coming to this event is not because you do not have food at home to eat, or there is no other events that you could be part of but you have choosing to be here because you endorse the rationale for our gathering tonight. I therefore encourage you to have the very best of this occasion and wish you the very best. Thank you!
