Tinubu to inaugurate Wole Soyinka Centre

As part of the independence program, Tinubu will commission the remodelled National Theatre in Lagos, renamed the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and the Creative Arts. Furthermore the project is expected to serve as a flagship hub for Nigeria’s creative industry.
