Wema Bank Plc has revealed its plan to produce the stage plays on the lives of the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo and former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
The bank in a statement on Wednesday noted that the stage plays titled, ‘Awo’ and ‘Aremu,’ were produced by Mr Joseph Edgar, popularly known as the Duke of Shomolu with the support of the bank.
Wema Bank said its support for the stage plays was anchored on the need to build a bridge between cultural heritage and present-day Nigeria.
The statement reads, “Nigeria’s history is incomplete without the mention of late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, a former Premier of Western Nigeria, and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, who, through their selfless acts, have written their names in the sands of time.
“Our support for the arts, creativity, innovation, and entertainment is good for Nigerians will expand avenues for relaxation and escape from the hard issues that affect them.”
