The Centre for Black and African Arts and Civilisation has praised its Director-General, Aisha Adamu-Augie, for promoting arts and culture.

According to a statement on Saturday, the centre’s staff commemorated her one year in office.

Ms Aisha Adamu-Augie had implemented various initiatives to promote African arts and culture, both locally and internationally, said the statement.

According to the statement, Ms Adamu-Augie’s efforts in repositioning the centre had yielded significant results, with CBAAC becoming a hub for cultural exchange and enrichment.

It noted that Ms Aisha Adamu-Augie had upheld the strengthening of cultural ties between Nigeria and China. It added that this led to signing a memorandum of understanding with the centre’s full participation at the 2024 United Nations Chinese Language Day celebration.

“Under Aisha Adamu-Augie’s leadership, CBAAC’s commitment to fostering international cultural exchange, promoting artistic innovation, and celebrating Africa’s rich cultural legacy has been upscaled.

“CBAAC’s commitment to promoting Black and African cultural heritage was taken to another level when the centre celebrated the achievements and contributions of people of African descent during the black history month,” the statement added.
