@LagosPoetryFest Wow. This couldn't have been an easy decision. Wishing you every success in everything else you have lined up.

After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to postpone this year’s festival to next year. This decision comes as we navigate a particularly challenging funding landscape, part of the broader global squeeze in literary and cultural financing.

@Marokomag Thank you, as always, for your continued love and support, as we continue to co-create a transnational literary infrastructure that supports the flourishing of poetry and ideas locally and internationally. Aluta Continua.

@Marokomag The national champion will receive two million naira in prize money and represent Nigeria at the World Slam Championship in South Africa—all expenses covered. Full details to follow.

It's been weeks since our LIPFest session, but it's impossible to forget gems our panellists shared:
"The Nigerian government did not keep a record of who designed the Coat of Arms." - Dr Raphael James, Centre for Research, Information Management and Media Development Museum.

Join @jyte12, @AishaSalaudeen, @olalekan_ojumu, @kolatubosun, and @raphael_james for our Future Histories panel @LagosPoetryFest tomorrow. They will examine how technology serves as a tool for both liberation and control. Who benefits from these advances and why?
