LIMCAF flags off at Abuja
The zonal screening and exhibition of artworks for the yearly Life In My City Festival has begun with an exhibition held at the Thought Pyramid Art Centre, Wuse 2, Abuja.
The theme of this year’s festival is Beyond all odds. The 10 collection centres are expected to display their best entries. The festival, which enters its ninth edition, is to promote artistic creativity and professionalism among young and talented Nigerian artists.
Cultural Programme Officer, Institut Français du Nigeria, Alice O’Reilly said the festival has been driven mainly by passion for arts by Chief Robert Oji since 2006.
‘This year sees the 9th edition of what has become the most consistent and most expressive art festival in Nigeria. This constant high performance has been made possible because of people such as Elder Kalu U Kalu and Kelvin Ojiofor who involved thousands of people in their dream and whose passion for visual arts has few bounds. And this passion has driven the whole board, the organising committee, the jury panel as well as all the people involved in this nation-wide project. They also had the very strong support of the Alliance française in Enugu which has actively participated in the organisation of the festival from the very first day,’ she said.
According to her, the concept of LIMCAF is simple, unifying and it has extended to all over the country through the support of the French cultural network formed by the Institut Français du Nigeria in Abuja and the 10 Alliances Françaises spread around the country. ‘And it wouldn’t have been the same without the support of many generous private sponsors as well as the Embassy of France in Nigeria,’ she added. LIMCAF has been growing every year. As a proof of the vitality of young Nigerian artists, there are more participants every year and the standard gets higher.

Bailout fund: NUT warns governors against diversion
The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has advised state governors to ensure that the bailout fund from the federal government is not diverted but used to pay salary arrears.
The union expressed concern about the continuous delay in the payment of teachers’ salary by many state governments despite the intervention of President Muhammadu Buhari with the bailout fund provided to help state governments pay arrears of salaries to workers in affected states.
The teachers among other issues urged Federal Government to intensify its efforts in the fight against the Boko Haram sect and further secure schools.
