Maitama Sule laid solid foundation for Arts and Culture, says Runsewe

The Director-General of National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), Otunba Segun Runsewe has joined other well-meaning Nigerians in commiserating with the family of Alhaji (Dr) Yusuf Maitama Sule on the death of the great Nigerian Icon.

The NCAC boss in a statement issued in Abuja yesterday said that Maitama Sule would be remembered for the many contributions he made towards the development of Nigeria, especially in the area of arts and culture.

Runsewe stated that as the pioneer Chairman of NCAC Board in 1975, Maitama Sule laid a solid foundation for the development of the arts and culture sector of the nation, noting that, he was at the forefront of the promotion of Nigeria’s cultural values.

He recalled that the late Maitama Sule stood against cultural imperialism and spent his entire life promoting African cultural values as the bedrock for national unity, integration and development.

According to him, “Maitama Sule was a true Patriot, a moralist who spoke openly against the vices of corruption, bad governance and discrimination along religious, political and ethnic divide”

He also said that, late Maitama Sule was an apostle of the rule of Law, democratic good governance based on the principles of free, fair and peaceful elections.

He would be remembered as one Nigerian who spent his entire life fighting for the unity, peace and development of the Nigeria nation state.
