Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Violence in Nigeria’s oil-rich delta region is threatening oil exports, driving up prices and casting a pall over a country that’s made headway in democratic reforms. Kojo and his guests discuss the latest news from the country and how the recent turbulence could impact next year’s Nigerian elections and stability throughout Africa.
Guests
- Peter Lewis Associate Professor in the Division of Comparative and Regional Studies, and Director of the Council for African Studies, American University
- Princeton Lyman Senior Fellow and Director of Africa Policy studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. He was also the U.S. ambassador to Nigeria from 1986 to 1989.
- Ofeibea Quist-Arcton NPR Foreign Correspondent
