The Committee for Relevant Arts (CORA) is set to celebrate Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka’s 80th birthday in grand style.
Professor Wole Soyinka will be 80 on Sunday, 13th July 2014.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by CORA’s Secretary General, Alfred Toyin Akinosho and Program Chairman of CORA, Jahman Anilukapo.
“Soyinka has worked towards the unshackling of our freedom of expression for all these years and in the year of the 25th anniversary of the Fall of The Berlin Wall; 20th anniversary of South Africa’s democracy and the 15th year of Nigeria’s end to military rule. It is fitting to honour a landmark birthday of a man whose life-long career irrepressibly dotes on concern about human Freedom(s) with a year-long programme that interrogates our quest for freedom, especially through the letters.
