NAFCA to honour Soyinka, others

The Nollywood and African Films Critics Awards, popularly known as African Oscar, is leaving no stone unturned to ensure this year’s edition will be out of this world. After its recent announcement that its ceremony this year will hold on September 12th at the historic Orpheum Theatre of Hollywood, California, USA, it has announced again that the recipients of its literary arts category this year are Professor Wole Soyinka, Dr Kole Odutola, Dr Fumi Hancock and Mrs Odile Koudou who are well known for their prolific body of work that includes poetry, memoirs, novels and plays. According to NAFCA’s organizers, the literary arts category is to recognize the finest achievements of African authors in several genres and individual contributions to creative writing; promote Africa’s most celebrated writers, publishers and thinkers to the world; and also connect the writers and their readers.
