The 34th edition of the National Festival of Arts and Culture (NAFEST) in Ado Ekiti, the capital of Ekiti State, ended recently

As a result of divisions, violence and agitations in the country, the theme of this year’s festival, Celebrating National Unity in Diversity, couldn’t have been more appropriate.

According to him, “the abundant potential of our cultural manifestation, if properly harnessed and developed, can gainfully engage our teeming youths and women both in rural and urban communities so that the sector can contribute meaningfully to the attainment of the desired economic diversification agenda of the current administration.”

The drama tacitly interrogated the state of the nation with killings, lack of jobs, and social amenities, disagreements among the three major regions as to who controls what, when and how? The entrepreneurship roundtable, an initiative of Runsewe, was meant to educate the youth to know the importance of skills acquisition early. Secondary school students and unemployed youth had the opportunity to listen to self-made men and women in various fields and they asked questions that clarified their confusions.

Nuhu Najeem shared his experience on how to make interlocking blocks out of plastic bags and bottles.
