The Director General, National Council for Arts and Culture, Otunba Segun Runsewe onTuesday in Ekiti appreciated the drama presentation by Kogi State Council for Arts and Culture at Ekiti NAFEST, 2021.

According to the release signed by the Kogi state Information Officer of the ministry, Comrade Gabriel Edicha, the DG who was obviously thrilled by the performance, was clapping hands throughout the duration of the presentation.

The drama titled “the harmony of the discords” expressed the unity, peace and love that existed amongst the tribes in Nigeria and how the cherished values were adulterated by colonialism.

The release disclosed that the drama was a masterpiece of creativity and history of the abundant cultural heritage and mineral resources in Nigeria and how it is relevant to the theme of the festival, “Quest for unity”.

“It also talked about the need to reason together and correct the damages done to our collective psyche and bastardization of our culture, as a people.”

” The drama traced the enormous degree of discord among the tribes of Nigeria to adverse colonial activities, gluttony and inordinate ambition of the political class, expressing the fact that all hope is not lost.”

“It also called for laying down the arms we have carried against one another, in order for peace and progress to reign in the country.”

It was gathered that Kogi contingent also featured prominently in the indigenous fabrics fashion parade, where the ‘EBIGO’ FABRIC CONCEPT of Governor Yahaya Bello was on full display.
