Extrait

Time and time again, scholars and students of Nigerian literature have stressed one issue, which is the underdevelopment of creative writing in northern Nigeria.

Time and time again, scholars and students of Nigerian literature have stressed one issue, which is the underdevelopment of creative writing in northern Nigeria. To support their position, they often refer to the so-called educational ‘backwardness’ of the region vis-a-vis the rest of the country. Their argument is also predicated on the paucity of works of art written in English by Northern writers. The aim of this study is to counter the view that creative writing in northern Nigeria is still in its infancy.
