Ekiti Cultural Troupe Ready for African Drum Festival – Ojo Lanre

Ekiti  State Cultural Troupe has confirmed its participation in the 2019 edition of the African Drum Festival, billed for Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital on May 25 and May 27 respectively.
The state Director General Council of Arts and Culture, Mr Wale Ojo-Lanre, who confirmed this development while addressing journalists at the Cultural Centre, Ado Ekiti, also disclosed that Governor Kayode  Fayemi has mobilised the Council to ensure quality participation at the global cultural event.
Ojo-Lanre hinted  that the level of preparedness of the state cultural troupe is encouraging, assuring that the troupe is ready not only to participate but to coast home with honour and trophy.
“The troupe is oiling its rehearsals and toiling night and day to stage the best performance during the festival and I am sure its effort will translate into victory at the festival and another cultural event in the country.
” Part of my plans as the DG is to enhance the performance of this wonderful troupe, promote its activities and ensure its prominence in events within and outside shores of Nigeria.
“The vision of our Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi is to rejuvenate, showcase and promote the cultural values of Ekiti to the whole world and he has promised to give us necessary moral and financial empowerment to pursue and achieve this”, Ojo -Lanre submitted.
The DG also disclosed the Council’s readiness to construct an art village and gallery as well as creating an enabling environment for the development of talents and creativity to thrive in the state.
He, however, called on indigenes to support Ekiti State Council of Arts and Culture in promoting the rich and unique cultural values and heritage of her  people and Nigeria at large.
The third edition of African Drum festival, a cultural event initiated by Ogun State Government  is a global pot of cultural convergence of creative arts’ stakeholders with limitless opportunities.
