literature

THE president of the Association of
Nigerian Authors (ANA), Denja Abdullahi, has revealed that the new Nigerian
Writers Series (2) books was dedicated to children’s literature.
Abdullahi stated this during the
unveiling of the three books, saying they were a culmination of over a year’s
process of competitive call, sifting through manuscripts and arriving at a
group of three adjudged publishable by the series editors.
The ANA president commended Malam
Yusuf Ali (SAN), whose 2017 grant to the writers’ association, was used to
finance the publication of the books.
The three successful books are
Salamatu Sule’s Oma, The Drummer Queen; Chinyere Obi-Obasi’s The Loyal Queen
and Kabiru Abdullahi’s The Golden Girl of Galma.
Abdullahi, however, said with the
publication of the books, ANA’s A-Book-A- Child nationwide project was set to
begin.
