I am really honoured to stand here before you today to deliver this lecture. I must confess l looked up the list of previous speakers and found out they fell mostly under categories of either presidents or Nobel Prize Laureates, l am neither. l wish to congratulate the Trustees in opting for a commoner like me to present this lecture - brothers and sisters, please manage your expectations.
