Also speaking, Director, Abuja Writer’s Association, Shehu Emmanuel said ideas come from writing, thinking and publishing. He said because you are able to have ideas you can develop.

“Countries that are developed are countries that have the greatest literature. Everything is not about science. If you do not develop your mind to think – ideas, you can’t rule the world. God brooded over the waters, he was thinking, he had an idea and then he created the world. And he created man in his own image and therefore we’ve been created by God to tell stories.

Speaking about the author, he said, “Alex came to the Abuja Writers’ Forum because we created a platform for people to be able to tell their stories. Today we are very proud of Alex because he has shown the vision of AWF. We are pleased to witness the manifestation of his courage. I want to encourage you to continue to develop your skills in storytelling.”
