The 2015 lecture organized by the Osigwe Anyiam-Osigwe Foundation, with the theme “To live in the way that Honours: Incorruptibility; A spiritual Premise for Material wellbeing,” and a sub-theme centered on the contradictions that inhibit anti-corruption initiatives in Nigeria, was a resounding success. The lecture was graced by His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who delivered a keynote address.
The event was a clear indication of the Anyiam-Osigwe group’s commitment to promoting good governance, transparency, and accountability in Nigeria.

He highlighted the importance of incorruptibility in leadership and governance, noting that it was the foundation for achieving sustainable development and progress. He also emphasized the need for a holistic approach to fighting corruption, which should include not only punitive measures but also preventive measures, such as the promotion of transparency, accountability, and ethical behavior.
Another positive aspect of the lecture was the attendance of key stakeholders, including government officials, civil society organizations, and members of the public. This ensured that the message of the lecture reached a wide audience, and created an opportunity for constructive engagement and dialogue on issues of anti-corruption and good governance.
Furthermore, the lecture was well-organized, with the organizers paying attention to details and ensuring that the event was seamless and impactful. The choice of venue was also appropriate, as it provided a serene and conducive environment for intellectual discourse.
