Soludo Urges Structured National Dialogue On Igbo


Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo has called for a structured and intellectual national conversation on the place of the Igbo in Nigeria.

He urged Biafra agitators to embrace intellectual engagement and constructive dialogue rather than agitation. Soludo made the call during a stage performance titled The Tale of Two Nnamdis, written by Tobe Osigwe and directed by Prof. Uche Nwaozuzu.

The play was presented by students of the Theatre Arts and Film Department, University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN). Soludo praised the students for spearheading a conversation that he believes has been largely absent from the academic and political discourse for too long.

He expressed concern over a lack of structured intellectual engagement regarding the challenges facing the Igbo people and their position within the Nigerian state. He commended the students for spearheading the debate.
