Professor Wole Soyinka will be 80 on Sunday, 13th July 2014.
  This was disclosed in a statement signed by CORA’s Secretary General, Alfred Toyin Akinosho and Program Chairman of CORA, Jahman Anilukapo.[The Committee for Relevant Arts]
           “Soyinka has worked towards the unshackling of our freedom of expression for all these years and in the year of the 25th anniversary of the Fall of The Berlin Wall; 20th anniversary of South Africa’s democracy and the 15th year of Nigeria’s end to military rule.

            It is fitting to honour a landmark birthday of a man whose life-long career irrepressibly dotes on concern about human Freedom(s) with a year-long programme that interrogates our quest for freedom, especially through the letters.
