ZODML - Encouraging Young Nigerian Poets

The Embassy and Friends of Ireland in Nigeria partnered with the 2024 ZODML Poetry Competition and the talented Ireland-based poet and performer Dagogo Hart (who’s visit was supported by Culture Ireland) hosted a writing and performance masterclass for the finalists. Thanks to Aduke Gomez for her contribution as a member of the Judging Panel for the Competition which attracted entries from university students across the country.

If you haven’t yet been to ZODML make sure to do so soon – it is a wonderful, family-founded organisation which works to provide free reading resources to children & adults in Lagos and beyond. Bravo to Ifeoma Esiri and her family who do such incredible work for their community.
