ANA-FUNAI INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AND CREATIVE WORKSHOP

ANA-FUNAI Partnership
bridging the gap between town and gown

 Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA)

Founded by the late Chinua Achebe on 27th June 1981, the Association of Nigerian Authors (hereafter called ANA) is the umbrella body that caters for the interest of all the creative writers & critics in Nigeria. Thus it is the foremost professional body for all creative writers and critics in Nigeria. With branches in almost all the states of the Nigerian federation, ANA’s National Executive Council, currently led by Mallam Denja Abdullahi, has the major responsibility of evolving, as well as coordinating most activities of the Association, both at the state and national levels. In order to sustain and successfully implement most of its promotional programmes, the Association has sought and operated different partnership packages with respectable corporate bodies and individuals from both within and outside the country. The present partnership with the Federal University Ndufu Alike Ikwo, is one good example of partnership that is poised towards sustained collaboration in bridging the gap between the professionals in the Ivory tower and those in the industry. This is a common vision that is passionately shared by the two leaders - Prof Chinedum Nwajiuba, Vice Chancellor of FUNAI and Mallam Denja Abdullahi, the President, Association of Nigerian Authors.
