SYNW TO COMPILE AND PUBLISH POEMS ON PROF. JERRY AGADA
The Society of Young Nigerian Writers (SYNW) has called on young Nigerian poets to submit their poems in the on-going compilation/collation of poems in honour of the recently departed former Education Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and a former President of the Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA), Prof. Jerry Agada.
In a press statement issued and signed by SYNW President, Wole Adedoyin described the deceased as a “Mentor and Father to many young writers across the country and energetic, dogged and a committed writer and book promoter who used his political positions to fight for the rights of Nigerian writers.

The collation of the tribute poems will be part of efforts initiated by SYNW to immortalize Prof. Jerry Agada.
