President Bola Tinubu has named the National Arts Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos, after Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka.
Tinubu announced this in a letter he wrote to the iconic figure in commemoration of his 90th birthday.
Tinubu said his government did not only celebrate Soyinka’s remarkable literary achievements but also his unwavering dedication to the values of human dignity and justice.
He noted that despite deprivation and solitary confinement, Soyinka’s resolve to speak truth to power and fight for the marginalized was further strengthened.
The President added Professor Soyinka’s early writing, such as ‘The Lion and the Jewel,’ ’Death and the King’s Horseman’, not only testified to his mastery of language, his innovative storytelling, but also his unflinching commitment to enthroning a fair and just society.
