In order to give a Special Lecture at the University of Pennsylvania, UPenn in Philadelphia, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will leave Nigeria on Saturday for the United States of America.

This information was provided by Laolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President for Media and Publicity, in a release headed “Osinbajo Honours Invitation by US Ivy school, University of Pennsylvania, to deliver special lecture” on Saturday.

Following his meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris in September 2022, the VP would be making his second trip to the US in the past seven months.

According to Akande, “The Vice President’s lecture on Monday will be themed around Climate Change and a Just Transition and is hosted by the University’s Center for Africana Studies.

“Besides the lecture, the VP will also participate in an interactive session with students and faculty coordinated by Prof. Wale Adebanwi, Presidential Penn Compact Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.”

“Prof. Osinbajo, a leading voice and strong advocate for a Just Energy Transition for Africa and the developing world, is currently spearheading efforts aimed at creating the African Carbon Market as one of the pathways of a just and sustainable transition,” the statement also read.

UPenn which is one of the eight private universities known as the Ivy League in the United States was initially established in 1740 as a charity school until it was transformed into an academy in 1751 by Benjamin Franklin.

The university’s Center for Africana Studies is a 2015 merger of the Afro-American Studies Program and the Center for the Study of Black Literature and Culture.

The Center is hosting the Vice President’s Special Lecture in partnership with other faculties of the University such as PennCarey Law, Perry World House, Wharton Business School, Coalition for Equity and Opportunity and Perelman School of Medicine.

Osinbajo is expected back in Abuja right after his engagements in Philadelphia at the University.
