The United Nations has
devoted Friday, November 15, 2013 to
late Professor Chinua Achebe who died
last march in Boston, US.
Achebe was once a UN Goodwill
ambassador from 1999 to 2005. The
event holds at Dag Hammarskjold
Library Auditorium, UN Headquarters,
New York.
In an invite sent to Vanguard by the
United Nations SRC Society of Writers
and United Nations SRC Film Society,
the global body said the event featuring
music, film, readings and recollections
by family and friends, is part of
Achebe’s 83rd post-humous birthday
celebrations.
On its website, the United Nations
Population Fund, through its Executive
Director, Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin said,
“Mr. Achebe will forever be credited for
his leading role in shaping the course of
Africa’s literary traditions and for
conveying its authentic voice to the
world at large.”
