This document summarizes a keynote speech given by the Vice President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, at the 2020 Leadership Conference and Awards. In his speech, Osinbajo discusses the challenges facing Nigeria, including insurgencies, kidnappings, and threats of secession. However, he argues that colonial origins alone do not determine a nation's success or failure. Rather, the key weakness undermining Nigeria has been its political, economic, and religious elite, who have failed to build inclusive institutions and consensus. As a result, many citizens feel excluded and marginalized by the current system. Osinbajo calls for broad-based reforms and a more socially responsible elite to address these feelings of

Many people, throughout history, have addressed presentations and speaking in public. Socrates, Plato, and
Aristotle spent a great deal of time presenting and analyzing presentation skills in the mid-400s BC. In our
current business environment, leaders are expected to have the ability to give presentations.
Do you love to present to others or does the thought of presenting cause you to break out in a cold sweat?
Dale Carnegie, an American writer, lecturer, and the developer of famous courses in presentation and
speaking skills (n.d.), once said, “There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one
you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave.” Josh Russell, contributor to the UK Elite
Business (2013), states, “Knowing how to pitch and present is a vital skill.... And, as with any skill, practice
very much makes perfect” (p. 1). According to Russell, people have varied skills when presenting and need to
practice in order to develop confidence (p. 1, 2013). Even the best presenters get nervous. Survey after
survey reports that speaking in public is a common fear. Natalie Sisson (2012), Forbes writer, suggests that
“the fear of public speaking is the most common fear and prevents many people from achieving their
potential” and asks readers to “Imagine if you were comfortable speaking in public and took every opportunity
presented, how would your life improve? According to Sisson, if you choose to address your fears and

and opportunities, gain the trust of your clients, reduce your competition because you are willing to face your
fear, and accomplish great things because every time you speak you improve (p. 1).

Whether you think of this worksheet as a job aid or a checklist, it walks you through some of the critical thinking that you need to do when planning a speech. I've been a speechwriter for 10+ years, and developed this tool to help me stay on track with all the things that go into planning speaker remarks. It's greatest value, though, is that it's a good tool for collaborating with your speaker.
I've been working in higher ed for a decade or so, and typically work with those who are speaking about donor-related topics, so you'll see that reflected in the way that this worksheet is structured.
The document discusses factors related to speech writing and delivery. It covers choosing a topic, gathering research, outlining main ideas, drafting the introduction and body paragraphs, editing for clarity and impact, and rehearsing. Effective speech writing involves understanding the audience, stating the purpose upfront, supporting the central message with examples, and leaving the audience with a clear conclusion. Transitional words and phrases help speeches flow coherently from one idea to the next.
Public communication is a strategic form of communication used to share information with a group of people to deliver a message on a specific topic. There are several types of public communication including ceremonial, demonstrative, informative, and persuasive communications. As a public speaker, your role is to convey information to your audience in a clear and engaging manner. It is important to plan your speech effectively, practice delivering it, and use body language and a positive attitude to connect with your audience.

Organization and Outlines
Speech is power; speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Getting Started
In earlier stages of preparation for a speech, you have gained a good idea of who your audience is and what information you want to focus on. This chapter will help you consider how to organize the information to cover your topic. You may be tempted to think that you know enough about your topic that you can just “wing it” or go “freestyling.” Your organization might be something like this: “First, I’ll talk about this, then I’ll give this example, and I’ll wrap it up with this.” While knowledge on your topic is key to an effective speech, do not underestimate the importance of organization. You may start to give your speech thinking you’ll follow the “outline” in your mind, and then suddenly your mind will go blank. If it doesn’t go blank, you may finish what was planned as a five-minute speech with three minutes remaining, sit down, and then start to remember all the things you intended to say but didn’t.
Organization in your speech is helpful both to you and to your audience. Your audience will appreciate hearing the information presented in an organized way, and being well organized will make the speaking situation much less stressful for you. You might forget a point and be able to glance at your outline and get back on track. Your listeners will see that you took your responsibility as a speaker seriously and will be able to listen more attentively. They’ll be able to link your key points in their minds, and the result will be a more effective speech.
An extemporaneous speech involves flexibility and organization. You know your material. You are prepared and follow an outline. You do not read a script or PowerPoint presentation, you do not memorize every single word in order (though some parts may be memorized), but you also do not make it up as you go along. Your presentation is scripted in the sense that it is completely planned from start to finish, yet every word is not explicitly planned, allowing for some spontaneity and adaptation to the audience’s needs in the moment. This extemporaneous approach is the most common form used in business and industry today.
Your organization plan will serve you and your audience as a guide, and help you present a more effective speech. If you are concerned with grades, it will no doubt help you improve your score as well. If you work in a career where your “grades” are sales, and a sales increase means getting an “A,” then your ability to organize will help you make the grade. Just as there is no substitute for practice and preparation, there is no substitute for organization and an outline when you need it the most: on stage. Do yourself and the audience a favor and create an outline with an organization pattern that best meets your needs.

Chapter 12
Organization and Outlines
Speech is power; speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Getting Started
In earlier stages of preparation for a speech, you have gained a good idea of who your audience is and what information you want to focus on. This chapter will help you consider how to organize the information to cover your topic. You may be tempted to think that you know enough about your topic that you can just “wing it” or go “freestyling.” Your organization might be something like this: “First, I’ll talk about this, then I’ll give this example, and I’ll wrap it up with this.” While knowledge on your topic is key to an effective speech, do not underestimate the importance of organization. You may start to give your speech thinking you’ll follow the “outline” in your mind, and then suddenly your mind will go blank. If it doesn’t go blank, you may finish what was planned as a five-minute speech with three minutes remaining, sit down, and then start to remember all the things you intended to say but didn’t.
Organization in your speech is helpful both to you and to your audience. Your audience will appreciate hearing the information presented in an organized way, and being well organized will make the speaking situation much less stressful for you. You might forget a point and be able to glance at your outline and get back on track. Your listeners will see that you took your responsibility as a speaker seriously and will be able to listen more attentively. They’ll be able to link your key points in their minds, and the result will be a more effective speech.
An extemporaneous speech involves flexibility and organization. You know your material. You are prepared and follow an outline. You do not read a script or PowerPoint presentation, you do not memorize every single word in order (though some parts may be memorized), but you also do not make it up as you go along. Your presentation is scripted in the sense that it is completely planned from start to finish, yet every word is not explicitly planned, allowing for some spontaneity and adaptation to the audience’s needs in the moment. This extemporaneous approach is the most common form used in business and industry today.
Your organization plan will serve you and your audience as a guide, and help you present a more effective speech. If you are concerned with grades, it will no doubt help you improve your score as well. If you work in a career where your “grades” are sales, and a sales increase means getting an “A,” then your ability to organize will help you make the grade. Just as there is no substitute for practice and preparation, there is no substitute for organization and an outline when you need it the most: on stage. Do yourself and the audience a favor and create an outline with an organization pattern that best meets your needs.

The document discusses a study on young children's color preferences in interior environments. The study aimed to highlight color preferences for child development centers, as their designs are often based on adult preferences rather than considering the children. The study found that children preferred brighter, more saturated colors over neutral or pale colors. They particularly favored red, orange, and yellow. This suggests interior designs should consider children's natural attraction to brighter colors for enhanced engagement and learning.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall

AN ASSESSMENT OF ACCURATE GUIDES TO EXCEPTIONAL
KEYNOTE SPEECH FOR CAPTIVATION OF AUDIENCE
Morgan A. JOHN, Ph.D
Department of Linguistics and Literature Studies
Wake Forest University,
Winston-Salem, North Carolina
United States of America
ABSTRACT
The study carefully, assessed the accurate guides to exceptional keynote speech for
captivation of audience. Some of the more famous keynote speeches are those made in
the United States at the party conventions during Democratic and Republican
presidential campaigns. Keynote speakers at these events have often gained nationwide
fame (or notoriety); for example, Barack Obama at the 2004 Democratic National
Convention, and have occasionally influenced the course of the election. In the
commercial arena, Steve Jobs delivered influential keynote speeches at Apple product,
system and service launches, and former presidential candidate Al Gore delivered a
keynote address which was edited into the documentary film “An Inconvenient Truth”.
Also studied was a keynote address by the Executive Vice Chairman, Nigerian
Communications Commission, Professor Umar Garba Danbatta, on Service Delivery for a
New Nigeria which was observed to be very captivating. The study discovered that
keynote speeches are often used to raise interest in a particular event, such as a
conference or large meeting by a corporation or association, and draw attendees to
attend that program. Keynote speeches are important, and being asked to give a keynote
speech can be a great opportunity for the speaker to take advantage of and
communicate with the audience about the topic at hand. finally, it was concluded that
majority of keynote speeches are based on the speaker's personal experiences and
knowledge. Hence, one of the recommendations made in the study was that, when
picking speakers for your conference, association meeting, or corporate event, sales
meeting, pick your Keynote Speaker with care.
KEYWORDS: Keynote speeches
Introduction
At political or industrial conventions and at academic conferences, the keynote
address or keynote speech is delivered to set the underlying tone and summarize the
core message or most important revelation of the event. In corporate or commercial
settings, greater importance is attached to the delivery of a keynote speech or keynote
address. The keynote establishes the framework for the following programme of events or

convention agenda; frequently the role of keynote speaker. The term Keynote Speaker is
one of the most misunderstood in the meetings industry. According to Mike (2020),
many people confuse the term Keynote Speaker with motivational speaker, inspirational
speaker, plenary speaker, breakout speaker, industry expert, closing speaker, business
speaker etc. Any of the above speakers could actually be a keynote speaker, but most
professional keynote speakers are not actual Keynote Speakers and most Keynote
Speakers cannot or do not do all the rest (Mike 2020).
Keynote speakers are often selected to raise interest in a particular event, such as
a conference or large meeting sponsored by a corporation or association, and draw
attendees to attend that program. Weiss, (2008) stated that selecting a keynote speaker
who is well known for their expertise in a particular field, or who has wide name
recognition due to other accomplishments, will probably raise enthusiasm among
prospective attendees for a meeting or conference (Weiss, 2008). A keynote speaker
may work independently or be represented by a speaker’s bureau. In the event that a
speaker is represented by a traditional speaker’s bureau, a commission, typically 25%–
30%, is due; however, this is traditionally and ethically absorbed by the speaker rather
than the client so that the fee remains flat and transparently priced to the client.
Concept of Keynote Speech
A "keynote speech," also called a "keynote address," is a speech designed to present
the issues of primary interest to an assembly (such as at a political convention or at a
conference) and often to arouse unity and enthusiasm. According to Indig (2021), a
keynote is a principal presentation or speech that introduces an event and is usually
given by a famous speaker. It sets the frame and tone of the event by introducing a novel
or big idea. Keynote speeches are important, and being asked to give a keynote speech
can be a great opportunity for the speaker to take advantage of and communicate with
the audience about the topic at hand. But first, the speaker must learn and understand
the essentials of keynote speeches (Spencer, 2021).
However, keynote speakers are sometimes well-known figures or even celebrities. In
other cases, they may just be someone who is exceptionally accomplished in their
specialty, depending on the audience. Keynote speakers are frequently compensated for
their services, and a well-known professional keynote speaker might command a sizable
fee (Spencer, 2021). Accordingly, the majority of keynote speeches are based on the
speaker's personal experiences and knowledge. They can also include factors of
motivation and inspiration. Effective keynote speakers often make use of storytelling as
well. However, audience involvement is the most critical factor in the success of a
keynote presentation. The keynote speaker needs to capture and maintain the attention
of the audience and set the tone for the entire event.

Accurate Guides to Excellent Keynote Speech
According to Lynna (2021), good keynote speech is gripping and inspiring. It sets the
tone for the event, program, or conference, and it can really unify the audience. While it
can be easy to go off on a tangent as a keynote speaker, especially when talking about
something that you are passionate about, there will often be multiple speakers
presenting at an event, so you must stick to your allotted time limit. Prepare your
research, structure your speech, and time yourself practicing before the conference, to
ensure that you keep your keynote address concise (Lupton, 2021).
Choose a theme for your speech: If you are a beginner, you are probably given an
indication of what the theme of your keynote speech should be. For experience speakers,
the scenario might be more along the lines of “It does not matter what you talk about,
everyone will love it anyway!”. In both cases, you still have some serious planning to do
regarding the theme of your speech (Paula 2021).
According to Paula (2021), there are three basic types of speeches: educational,
motivational and entertaining. Begin by deciding which of these you want to accomplish
as your general purpose. Whatever you choose, remember that you are going there to
offer value to your audience, not to brag about who you are, what you have done or how
much you like yourself. If you are not educating, motivating or entertaining your
audience, in other words if you are not delivering any real value, do not do it. Select a
core message that you want to convey, based on your theme. Make sure that it contains:
a. Clarity: Aim to express your core message in a single sentence. If you
cannot do this, you need more clarity.
b. Passion: Your core message must be something you believe in.
c. Knowledge: What do you know about this core message? Can you draw
stories from personal experience? Have you researched the topic?
Choice of a theme for a keynote speech: The goal of speech selection is to move
from broad considerations of the speech event, the knowledge and interest of the
audience, and the speakers own competence through a process of refinement
that leads to the fashioning. The general purpose describes the overarching goal
of the speech. According to Michael (2014), there are three types of general
purposes exist: to inform, to persuade and to entertain. Selecting a general
purpose provides the foundation for the development of the specific purpose. The
specific purpose is the combination of the general purpose and the speech topic.
The general theme or subject of the speech. Many strategies for the topics
selection may be used, including brain storming, personal interest lists, mind
maps and media prompts.
Create a presentation outline: This is the first step we ask all of our clients to do before
jumping into designing the entire presentation. According to Paula (2021), structuring

your ideas is essential to both the delivery and the design of your keynote speech. Many
speakers, experienced or not, sadly skip this step more often than not. An outline is a
blueprint for your presentation. That means:
a. It highlights the key logical elements. i.e. what points are being made to logically
support the core message?
b. It highlights the key structural elements. e.g. introduction, body, conclusion,
stories, high-level concepts
c. It links these elements together in a sequence, perhaps allocating very rough
timings.
d. It can also map out the transitions between elements, although this may be
deferred to a later stage of preparation.
Start filling in each section: Use keywords. This will help you convey a clear message and
keep your audience’s attention. It’s also of great help to you when creating the flow of the
presentation. Start with the topic of your presentation, your principal keyword will derive
from that and will most likely be comprised in the presentation title. The structure of your
presentation will give you another set of keywords. Be brief and clear (Paula 2021).
Make it visually attractive: Use visual elements to illustrate your ideas. Graphs and
charts can help show relationships, comparisons, and change. Make sure to use these
visual graphics to enhance your message and increase understanding. Too much of
anything can lead to over stimulating your audience and losing their attention.
Tell stories: Tell stories and anecdotes to help you illustrate your ideas and your research.
This will definitely make your presentation more effective and memorable. In a UCLA
study, students were asked to recall a series of speeches they had heard. Only 5 percent
remembered any individual statistic, while 63 percent remembered the stories presented
in those speeches.
Connect with the audience: Invite your audience to engage with you. This will get them
emotionally invested and it will differentiate you from inexperienced, nervous speakers.
Plan an inclusion of the audience in your presentation somewhere. It can be a slide with
a question, a game or just an empty slide to help you connect with people and re-gain
their full attention. You can try different things, from a simple show of hands, to requests
for brief personal input, to role playing and games, to small group exercises- and their
merits.
Rehearse, Rehearse, rehearse: By rehearsing your presentation several times you’ll be
able to put yourself in the shoes of your audience and see what improvements you can
make. You can even record yourself giving the presentation. This will enable you to also
work on your speaking rate and body language. It is also a useful exercise for people who
get nervous when they speak in public.

A Good Example of an Exceptional Keynote Speech
Keynote Address By The Executive Vice Chairman, Nigerian Communications
Commission, Professor Umar Garba Danbatta, FNSE, FRAES On Service Delivery For A
New Nigeria At The 11th Annual Conference Of The Academy Of Management Nigeria,
25th – 26th October, 2017 At Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State
Protocol
Professor Umar Garba Danbatta, FNSE, FRAES is honoured to be invited to deliver a
keynote address at this august gathering of scholars, practitioners and critical
stakeholders of Management Science who are driven by a common interest in
scholarship, research, and development of management theory and practice. Engineer
Danbatta is unavoidably absent at the 11th Annual Conference of the Academy of
Management Nigeria due to an intervening national assignment. Consequently, the
Executive Vice Chairman of the Communications Commission tenders his sincere
apologies to the entire gathering of respected stakeholders at this 11th Annual
Conference of the Academy of Management Nigeria. However, Professor Umar Garba
Danbatta appointed the Head of Human Capital, Nigerian Communications Commission,
Matthew I. Maganda, to present his keynote address. For avoidance of doubt,
distinguished participants, ladies and gentlemen, all expressions of the first person
singular pronouns conveyed in this keynote address are referral to Professor Umar Garba
Danbatta, FNSE, FRAES. The address runs thus:
Introduction
The theme, Service Delivery for a New Nigeria, at the 11th Annual Conference of
Academy of Management Nigeria congregating scholars, practitioners, students and
admirers is very apt and indisputably timely. It elicits sober reflection. It is a patriotic call
for national rebirth, and conscious change in the way resources are managed for better
socio-economic attainments in the country. It calls for efficient management of all the
sectors of the economy for impactful integrated growth. It is robust to stimulate engaging
conversations, and I foresee considerable additional managerial perspectives and
insights for improved Management practice in the country and beyond. I salute you,
members of the academy of Management Nigeria for your patriotism in crafting the
theme of this conference which has the potential to rekindle the consciousness of
compatriots to make concerted efforts in all spheres of life for a greater Nigeria that we
all shall be proud of.
Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, I should underscore the ingredients for
successful service delivery generally. An institution that formulates a clear vision,
mission, set of values, and operational principles supported by an appropriate structure,
motivated workforce, and value adding processes that are guided by a strategic plan
implementation, adequate resources and committed leadership can always guarantee
MorganA.JOHN,Ph.D
6. GASPRO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LANGUAGE
AND LINGUISTICS, VOL 3 NO 1, APRIL 2022. UNITED KINGDOM.
56
good service delivery in any formal outfit. More so, when members of professional bodies
amongst the workforce uphold the code of ethics of their careers in the dispensation of
their responsibilities. The New Nigeria that we infer at this conference, critically needs
the foregoing focused organisational culture. However, it must be recognised that the
aforementioned ingredients need to be managed as a chain. Any weak component in the
link exposes the institution to mediocre service delivery.
Without sounding patronising, I want to state that some institutions are performing
superlatively. However, there are others that need to reconsider their commitment and
strategies to meet the expectations of their stakeholders. Also, I should add that in the
light of the theme of this conference, all institutions whether performing or non-
performing should review their output in relation to their mandates and re-strategise for
optimal service delivery which should traverse all sectors of the economy. At this
conference, I see a multitude of great, refined and vibrant minds with enormous
experience who are united in a common goal of lifting Nigeria to the envy of the World.
My keynote address will therefore, highlight my experience in academics, administration
and telecommunications over the past thirty years within the context of two institutions
whose affairs, I have been privileged to steer. The managerial strategies I believe in and
have always deployed as a former Acting Vice Chancellor of the then nascent Kano State
University of Science and Technology, Wudil, and as the current executive helmsman at
the Nigerian Communications Commission amongst other public institutions that I have
managed, have convinced me beyond doubt, that the thin line between laudable and
despicable service delivery lies in disciplined leadership.
Later, in the summation of my keynote address, engaging questions will be posed to
stimulate discussions and engage the Academy of Management Nigeria to continue to
chart the pace of Management discourse and development in the country. I shall not
proffer any solutions to the challenges undermining effective service delivery in the
country, rather, I shall complicate the antithesis of the theme of the Conference to elicit
beneficial debate from our respected scholars and practitioners at this gathering.
Experience at the Kano State University of Science and Technology: Ladies and
gentlemen, at the Kano State University of Science and Technology, I took advantage of
the vantage position of my Chairmanship of the Steering Committee for the
establishment of the institution when I was transmuted to its acting Vice Chancellor to
guide the council in the development of strategic drivers that eventually launched the
University vibrantly in record time. Stakeholder consultation, and collaboration with local
and foreign partners drove the institutional vision, mission, values and well monitored
strategic plans for the university. In less than four years, the institution recruited two
hundred (200) academic staff made up of one hundred and twenty (120) professors and
eighty (80) doctorate degree holders. Also, one hundred and forty (140) courses of the
University were fully accredited by the National Universities Commission. Four (4)

monotechnics across the State were affiliated as campuses of the University to address
special developmental needs of the State Government. Similarly, strategic collaboration
between the University and 5 first generation Universities in the United Kingdom, Poland,
Russia, and China, amongst other things, was established.
Over View of Telecommunications Growth: The history of the Nigerian Communications
Commission (NCC) is strikingly fascinating. Between 1992, when the Commission was
established, and 2000, the telecommunications industry grappled with less than 500,
000 telephone lines. However, with a clear Government policy and commitment to its
implementation, by the end of 2001, the sector witnessed a quantum leap of mobile
telephone lines of over 2,000,000. Since then, the telecommunications industry has
continued to grow to attain its current subscriber base of 139,000,000; a teledensity of
99%, a mobile internet connection of 96,000,000 subscribers; a broadband national
penetration of 21%, foreign capital investment in the economy of $68,000,000,000; a
sectoral contribution of N1.545 trillion to the economy; and a contribution to the gross
domestic product of 9.5% as at 31st June, 2017. Also, the Commission has in the last
two years, remitted over N133.53 billion to the Federation Account. Meanwhile, the
broadband national penetration target of 30% in the country by the end of 2018 is being
pursued vigorously.
On assumption of office at the Nigerian Communications Commission, I discovered
pleasantly that the institution already had a formidable functional structure that was
built on clear vision, mission, principles and core values. These strategic drivers are
supported by productive strategies, value-adding processes and a motivated workforce. I
only needed to latch on the existing structure and remain focused on the corporate
mandate while underscoring team spirit, and consultative engagement with critical
stakeholders. In addition, adherence to the Communications Act, the
Telecommunications Policy, the Strategic Management Plan, and faithful performance
reviews have been indispensable for the current achievements in the areas of core
regulatory and corporate social responsibility projects in the telecommunications sector.
8-Point Agenda: Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, my humble contribution to
the scheme of things in the Nigerian Communications Commission to ensure enhanced
pervasive universal access in the country, is summarised in an 8-point agenda. The
ultimate goal of the initiative is to enhance availability, accessibility and affordability of
ICT services and e-applications across the length and breadth of Nigeria. The agenda is
achievable through faithful execution of the following strategies:
I. Facilitating broadband national penetration across the country;
II. Improving quality of service and the experience of consumers;
III. Optimising the use of spectrum;
IV. Promoting ICT innovations and investment opportunities;
V. Facilitating strategic collaboration and partnerships locally and internationally;
MorganA.JOHN,Ph.D
8. GASPRO INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LANGUAGE
AND LINGUISTICS, VOL 3 NO 1, APRIL 2022. UNITED KINGDOM.
58
VI. Protecting and empowering the consumer;
VII. Promoting fair competition and inclusive growth amongst licensees; and
VIII. Ensuring regulatory excellence and operational efficiency.
It is pertinent to observe that the pursuit of the agenda is vigorous, comprehensive and
executed along with other regulatory roles that are conveyed in the Nigerian
Communications Act 2003, the National Telecommunications Policy and the Strategic
Management Plan which are clearly defined and cascaded as functional contributions
from departments. Again, deliberate engagements with stakeholders in politics,
business and the academia, locally and overseas, are managed to enable desired
synergy that will maintain growth in the sector. Continual strengthening of the regulatory
structure, processes, capacity building, compliance monitoring and enforcement of
licensing obligations remain cardinal in telecommunication regulation.
Multiple Taxation on Telecommunications Infrastructure: The Nigerian Communications
Commission has been engaging State Governments and relevant agencies of Federal
and State Governments to appreciate the negative implications of multiple taxation and
excessive rates on Right of Way of Communication infrastructure across the country,
quality of service issues, and roll-out challenges for the service providers. The initiative
has yielded commendable results. There is improvement in the appreciation of the
negative impact of multiple taxation on the growth of the telecommunications industry
occasioned by the three tiers of Government in their drive for internally generated
revenue.
Spectrum Farming: The Commission has embarked on aggressive spectrum farming to
optimise its usage. Licensees who have idle spectrum are profiled and charged to use or
sell to operators who are interested in the scarce frequency resource for the benefit of
consolidating the gains of the industry.
Quality of Service: A taskforce is dedicated to monitor compliance of network operators
with internationally developed technical and consumer experience related parameters
for measuring quality of service of telecommunications in the industry. Reviews are made
periodically and shared amongst operators for the purpose of improvement of their
services.
Collaboration with Bilateral Telecommunications Institutions: A key feature of the
Communications Commission is collaboration with bilateral institutions on ICT
management. The engagement enables peer reviews, setting up of operational
standards, capacity building and domestication of best practices in the industry. It also,
helps harmonisation of regional telecommunications policies, amongst other things.
2017 Year of the Consumer: The Commission has dedicated 2017 as the year of the
consumer to project the needs of the consumer in the areas of his education and rights.
The campaign ensures that the consumer will be acquainted with his bill of rights and
MorganA.JOHN,Ph.D

59
obligations to the use of mobile services in addition to the opportunities to interact with
service providers through the ‘Consumer Parliament, Consumer Outreach and the
Consumer Town Hall’ Programmes.
Code of Corporate Governance for the Telecommunications Sector: Besides the
foregoing efforts of the Commission in ensuring meritorious implementation of its
mandate, it is determined to propagate service excellence in the telecommunications
sector by enforcing the Code of Corporate Governance on major licensees in the
telecommunications industry. The code draws generously from the company and Allied
Matters Act and the Nigerian Communications Act to enforce supervisory standards that
network operators are required to observe for business sustainability. Boards of network
operators are required to uphold ethics of good governance and ensure Management
and the workforce of their institutions comply with the standards of ethical behaviour,
avoid conflict of interest and multiple directorship, measure and compensate
performance appropriately, protect the interest of shareholders, and establish a whistle
blowing mechanism, amongst other industry best practices.
The code was introduced in 2014, after consultation with stakeholders. Its enforcement
commenced in June 2017. This means that standards of leadership and management
have been raised to sustain economic growth in the country, and mitigate risks through
transparency and accountability by the Board, Management and the workforce in the
telecommunications sector.
Corporate Social Responsibility: This secondary role of the Commission has enabled it to
impact favourably on the educational sector and security management across all the
States in the Country, including the Federal Capital Territory. The Nigerian
Communications Commission encourages the promotion of telecommunications-based
Research and Development from the academia on projects that have potential to
develop the industry. In addition, the Commission sponsors the Advanced Digital
Appreciation Programme for Tertiary Institutions (ADAPTI), as well as, the Digital
Awareness Programme (DAP) for designated secondary schools in the country. These
interventions and the commendable regulatory performance by the Commission over the
years have accounted for numerous awards from local and foreign institutions in
appreciation of commendable service delivery by the Nigerian Communications
Commission.
Security: Security in any society is the back bone of socio-economic development. This
explains the intervention of the Commission in the thirty-six States, including the Federal
Capital Territory where Emergency Communication Centres are built, equipped and
released to States for monitoring of threats to life, law and order by designated security
agencies.

Furthermore, the Nigerian Communications Commission co-sponsored the registration
of unregistered Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards by consumers to profile
telephone service users and monitor unwholesome acts in the society. The initiative has
enabled Security Agencies tackle criminality that is perpetrated through misuse of the
mobile phone SIM cards.
Key Challenges of Telecommunications Regulation: There have been significant
achievements recorded in the telecommunications industry over the years in respect of
socioeconomic enablement in the country. However, there are a plethora of challenges
that the sector is grappling with. Some of the impediments still comprise tenuous
multiple taxation by some State Governments, non-recognition of telecommunications
infrastructure as critical national assets, Right-of-Way issues across the country,
vandalism of telecommunications infrastructure, inadequate investment in the sector,
legacy encumbrances, over-the-top service issues, online scams, inadequate local
content, etc.
Distinguished guest ladies and gentlemen, success in every sphere of endeavour is
achievable even with marginable resources when leadership is courageous, focused and
committed. Repeated allegations of abuse of office with impunity by some career
practitioners in the country obviously, emphasise an urgent need for professional bodies
to strictly enforce their codes of ethics. If this feat is achieved optimal service delivery in
the country will resonate pervasively across all sectors of the economy. Once again, it’s
all about discipline, determination, possession of key strategic drivers, required
resources and a monitoring mechanism.
In the face of ubiquitous institutional governance deficit, it has become incumbent on
the Academy of Management Nigeria to develop effective management theories and
models for the management of investments and resources for sustainable service
delivery in the country. In addition, the Academy needs to consider embarking on
aggressive advocacy for adaptation of its management models in conducting public and
private concerns.
Sectors like the Information Communication Technologies, Agriculture, Education,
Transport, Tourism, Commerce, Health, Banking, Public Service, Security, Infrastructure,
Power, Mining, Manufacturing, the Military, Construction, Politics and Public Policy
Management, Small and Medium Enterprises, the ecosystem, etc. visibly need the
expertise and management models of the academy to optimise service delivery and
growth in the new Nigeria that we all dream to have.
Conclusion: Esteemed academics, practitioners, student members of the Academy of
Management Nigeria, ladies and gentlemen, I have a couple of rhetorical questions. How
would you reorient compatriots to believe in and champion the much desired discipline
required of public and private office holders in the provision of optimal service delivery

AND LINGUISTICS, VOL 3 NO 1, APRIL 2022. UNITED KINGDOM.

for a new Nigeria? What is the scope of your role in building confidence in the citizenry to
believe in the new Nigeria? How would you raise an army of managers of public resources
to be committed to the growth of the Gross Domestic Product? What managerial models
will you propose to propagate sustainable best practices in service delivery for a new
Nigeria? How would you get this laudable call of the Academy resonate in all the sectors
of the economy? How would this patriotic advocacy be monitored and measured for
sustainable service delivery in a new Nigeria? These questions and many more will
hopefully, be addressed by our erudite scholars and hands-on practitioners gathered at
this 11th Annual Conference of Academy of Management Nigeria.
Ladies and gentlemen, I wish you very fruitful deliberations and God bless you all.
Thank you.
Review on other keynote speeches
Some of the more famous keynote speeches in the United States are those made at the
party conventions during Democratic and Republican presidential campaigns. Keynote
speakers at these events have often gained nationwide fame (or notoriety); for example,
Barack Obama at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and have occasionally
influenced the course of the election. In the commercial arena, Steve Jobs delivered
influential keynote speeches at Apple product, system and service launches, and former
presidential candidate Al Gore delivered a keynote address which was edited into the
documentary film “An Inconvenient Truth” (Marshal, 2007).
Stevenote is a colloquial term for keynote speeches given by Steve Jobs, former CEO of
Apple, at events such as the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, Macworld Expo,
and Apple Expo. Because most Apple product releases were first shown to the public at
these keynotes, "Stevenotes" caused substantial swings in Apple's stock price. Jobs's
final Stevenote was delivered on June 6, 2011, when he announced iCloud (Apple's
cloud computing service). OS X Lion and iOS 5 were also announced on the same day. It
was one of his last public appearances before his resignation as CEO on August 24 and
death on October 5 of that year.
Conclusion
Keynote speeches are often used to raise interest in a particular event, such as a
conference or large meeting by a corporation or association, and draw attendees to
attend that program. Keynote speeches are important, and being asked to give a keynote
speech can be a great opportunity for the speaker to take advantage of and
communicate with the audience about the topic at hand. Lastly, majority of keynote
speeches are based on the speaker's personal experiences and knowledge.

Recommendations
1. When picking speakers for your conference, association meeting, or corporate
event, sales meeting, pick your Keynote Speaker with care.
2. A Keynote Speaker should be able to capture the essence of your meeting and be
able to highlight it to your audience in a short period of time.
3. In order to capture this essence, the Keynote Speaker should be willing to spend
the time researching your industry, your issues, and your audience.
