To lead the conversation billed to hold on Sunday January 11, 2026 is one of Nigeria’s foremost moral compass and Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Rev Father Mathew Kukah.
The discourse which commences from 8 p.m. over a two-hour duration will be transmitted via Zoom and be broadcast live on six partnering radio stations across Lagos, Ogun and Delta states.
With an incredibly large online followership and wide listenership base, Boiling Point Arena, is anchored by a media professional and public relations strategist, Dr Ayo Arowojolu.
