Oyo ANA Gets New Executives

Oyo State chapter of the Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA) has inaugurated a new leadership to pilot its affairs for the next two years.
The seven-man executive is headed by Biola Saka Layonu, the association’s immediate past chairman who was returned for another term in an election held on Saturday, October 15.
A media consultant, Layonu had his mandate renewed with 16 votes to the two garnered by Saka Olaide, a chartered marketer and management professional, who contested the poll, part of the program of activities marking the writers’ guild bie
The re-elected chairman pledged to rededicate himself to advancing the growth and interests of ANA and its members, saying his erstwhile achievement-packed tenure would be a child’s play to new initiatives in the offing for the next two years.
The election of the new officers is sequel to a discussion which opened the literary gathering on Friday.
The talk shop, with the theme: “Socio-Religious Conflicts, Cultural Diversity and Social Vices: The Role of The Nigerian Author”, was chaired by former Nigerian Ambassador to the Philippines, Ambassador Yemi Farounbi.
