President Buhari lauds Wale Okediran’s appointment as PAWA Sec-Gen

President Muhammadu Buhari says the appointment of Dr Wale Okediran as Secretary-General of Pan-African Writers Association (PAWA) has once again attested to the excellence exhibited by Nigerians in almost all areas of human endeavour.

Okediran, a medical doctor-turned-writer, was President, Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA), and former member of the House of Representatives.

In a statement signed by the Special Adviser to the President (Media and Publicity), Femi Adesina, Buhari described the appointment as “round peg in a round hole,” as Dr. Okediran has made name and reputation as a skillful writer and author of many books.

President Buhari further urged the PAWA Secretary-General, who will be domiciled in Ghana for his tenure of office, to continue bearing aloft the flag of Nigeria.
