The Local Organising Committee of
the 37th international convention of the Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA)
has been putting heads together since its inauguration early this month, to
give a befitting convention to Nigerian writers.
The convention, which is billed to
hold in Lagos between October 25 and October 28, 2018, will be hosted by Lagos
chapter of ANA. The theme of the convention is ‘Literature Mega Cities and Mega
Narratives.
Speaking during a meeting with other
members of the committee, held at Prince Anthony Hotel, Anthony Village, Lagos
on Wednesday, May 23, 2018, Akin Adeoya, chairman of the LOC commended the
members for their transparency and willingness to put in all their resources to
ensure that the annual event is a grandeur.
Adeoya, who insisted that writers,
home and abroad, expected at the convention would live to remember their
experience, also charged the members for sound commitment and cooperation.
From all indications, plans are on
top gear to bring in varieties of pre-events that would equally be beneficial
to the writers apart from the main events of the convention that have been
exclusively packaged and nurtured around the theme.
Author of ‘Pastors’ Prostitute,’
Yemi Adebiyi, chairman, ANA Lagos, and his vice, Babatunde Ayo-Vaughan
expressed their supports and commitments towards the realisation of the set
goals of the committee, advising members not to relent their efforts.
Other members at the said meeting
include Monday Edet (LOC’s Secretary); Oye Feyi-Abiodun (LOC’s PRO); Chike
Ofili (former Lagos ANA chairman); Abigail Ohiero; Margaret Irhabor; Linda Edem
Davies; Akeem Lasisi; Olusola Adigun; Olayinka Kadiri and Yemi Adebisi.
