By Bisi Olawunmi, The NATION, 12/01/2012
Akinyemi has dominated the country’s foreign policy landscape, in and out of office, for about 36 years since his 1975 appointment as the Director-General of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA), the nation’s foreign policy think-tank.
I cannot claim any close relationship with Prof. Akinyemi but have had professional interactions with him, on and off, for the years he has been in public limelight. The interactions began at the serene environment of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs on Victoria Island, Lagos, in 1976 when this writer started his formal journalism career with the Daily Times as a senior journalist.
Prof. Akinyemi not only brought intellectual fire-power to NIIA from University of Ibadan where he was a senior lecturer in the department of political science, he came with panache – an impeccable dresser with his trademark bow-tie. His other unique trait is that he talks in an indulgent, measured pace. No fast-paced speech. Easy does it for this Prof.
