Land Tussle Between Artists Of National Arts Theatre And The Federal Goverment

Dotun Alabi President For SNA Been Interviewed.
As we all know, there have been rumours that the National arts Theatre is to be completely sold. Our eyewitness found out it was true because today at noon at the Artists Village located on the outskirts of the National Arts Theater, members of the National Council For Arts And Culture (NCAC)  held a press conference to express its disappointing in the Government over the proposed sale of National Arts Theater especially the Artistes Village.

According to them, the land was originally donated to the Artists, not the Theater  by the Iganmu Chieftains,eg  Oba Olotu  etc and so is not the property of the Federal government. The conference also aimed to tell the government to invest in entertainment most especially the Arts, rather that aim to sell it to the highest bidder. It was chaired by the President of the Society of Nigerian Artists (SNA),Dotun Alabi , the Director Of Drumview Concepts (DC) Isioma Williams, Tunde Alabi, Artists Representative and Tope Babayemi, Director of Different Aesthetics (DDA). The media houses in attendance where, Nigerian Television Authority, Voice Of America, Voice of Nigeria, Voice of Germany and so on who where also given a tour of the dilapidated facilities.
