Sculptors Association of Nigeria, ScAN, last Friday, April 16, inaugurated her registered Board of Trustees at the Royal Palace, Ile-Ife, Osun State.
The Inauguration precedes ScAN maiden National Conference which will hold on April 21-22, 2021.
Both programs were initially slated for April 2020 but had to be put off due to the global pandemic.
In observance of the COVID-19 safety protocols, the inauguration employed a dual platform of presentation using physical and virtual simultaneously. While the Ife program was attended by few dignitaries and ScAN members, other inauguration will take place at inductees’ choice of location.

Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, yesterday, April 5, 2021, celebrated the annual Brazil Descendants Festival with the offspring of Nigerians, especially the Yoruba, who were carried to Brazil as slaves but returned many years ago and resettled on the Lagos Island.
The minister, in identifying with Nigeria’s century-old heritage relationship with Brazil, noted that time has come to give the initiative an economic boost through cultural tourism.
The minister said the window of relationship sustained by the thriving community of Brazilian Descendants in Lagos Island will get Federal Government necessary assistance through factoring its iconic festival into Nigeria’s cultural festival calendar.
