The Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, has declared July 13th of every year as the Wole Soyinka Day.
“Wole Soyinka has done a lot in the world of Theatre Arts in Nigeria as those he brought up both in Ibadan and Ife are still bringing others up,” the Alake said. The Nigerian playwright, novelist, poet and essayist in the English language was the first sub-Saharan African to be honoured in that category.
He went ahead to write plays that were produced in both Nigeria and the UK in theatres as well as on radio.
