“A good play can be demanding on many levels. You work on it, and you convince yourself that you have written it to the best of your ability, and you hope that someone else will perceive that you have indeed written a good play. It happens often, perhaps as often as you can deceive yourself that you have produced a good play and as often as the reader can fail to understand the aesthetic merits of a good play.”

Even though writers do not write only for prizes, they need prizes to reward creativity, energize the creative space, and call attention to books. We need more awards and prizes. I am grateful to the Nigeria LNG Limited for raising the bar; God bless them.”
