In a bold and thought-provoking statement following his graduation with distinction in English Literature at the University of Lagos’ 55th Convocation, Mr. Patrick Iwelunmor, has sparked a critical conversation about Africa’s leadership crisis, proposing that the interdisciplinary field of Literature and Medicine could be the solution.
In an impassioned press release addressed to the Nigerian media, Iwelunmor, whose outstanding academic performance has earned him accolades, addressed the systemic leadership failure that has plagued much of Africa. He pointed to the manipulation of the electoral process by individuals suffering from “psychopathological problems,” who impose themselves on the corridors of power, advancing personal, narcissistic agendas at the expense of national development and the common good.
