Awardees at the event
Traditionalists and culture activists last week, Sunday, converged on June 7 Embassy Hotel, Ijegun Lagos, to chart a way forward for traditional practices in the country and as well examine the role of traditional healers amid Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Organised by Heritage Connection Production (HERICON) in collaboration with Royal Star Entertainment Production (ROSEP), as part of the activities to mark the 24th edition of African Culture Preservation Presentation Advocacy (ACUPA) week, the programme featured lectures, poetry, musical performances, recognition and honour of culture ambassadors.
With theme and sub-theme as ‘2021 The Year Of New Beginning’ and ‘Overcoming Traditional Life Woes,’ stakeholders noted that there is need for all the ethnic groups in the country to preservers their traditional value as such component of the people’s culture tell who they are and define their being.
