WOLE SOYINKA AT 90

This is to celebrate the Iroko in the Forest of Words for clocking 90 on 13th July, 2024. I was privileged to receive a literary prize organised by the Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA) in 2006 to commemorate 20th Anniversary of Wole Soyinka's Nobel Prize at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife. The attached picture shows Dr Wale Okediran and Prof Wole Soyinka with yours sincerely in the middle at the dinner during the ANA International Colloquium to mark 20th Anniversary of Soyinka's Nobel Prize.
