The popular Argungu Fishing Festival will be revived in 2020, after 10 years of abandonment, the Director General of the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, has said.
Runsewe broke the news while hosting a delegation, led by the Emir of Argungu in Kebbi State, HRH Alhaji Samaria Mohammed Mera, at the headquarters of the council in Abuja.
Displaying several publicity and promotional materials the NCAC prepared ahead of the 2020 edition of the festival, Runsewe assured his guests that the fish house he built in 2010 would also be refurbished and remodelled.

“We will use Argungu to make a bold statement that, indeed, it is a festival that unites, and we will continue to support it henceforth because it is arguably the number one in the country with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) endorsement,” he said.
