The amiable Chairman of the Board of the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture has reached out to The Duke following my article – Disun Holloway – I don tyre
The 10-minute conversation covered areas that were discussed in the article.
His position was very clear – the sunken costs, maintenance cost and surprisingly 30% rebate on all cultural activities, including theatre – never knew that one o
He opened up to me in a very sincere and matter-of-fact way, which really impressed me
He came across as a leader who was very amenable, open to discussion and very passionate about his duty at the Centre
The beauty of the conversation was his acceptance to meet up with stakeholders in a bid to forge a middle-of-the-road solution.
So next week, I will take strategic leadership of the sector to Mr Holloway in search of a solution
Thanks
Duke of Shomolu
