Sterling Bank Commended For Supporting Ake Arts And Books Festival

Sterling Bank Plc has received commendation from poet and novelist Lola Shoneyin who is the founder and Director of the annual Ake Arts and Books Festival.

This year’s edition featured 30 events, including book chats, panel discussions, documentary and film screenings, a poetry video album, an art showcase, and a music concert. The festival curated five intergenerational conversations that reflected the 2021 festival theme: Generational Discordance.

In her closing remarks at this year’s edition of the festival, which was held virtually for the second year because of the Covid-19 pandemic, Shoneyin said, “Having Sterling Bank by our side makes our heads swell. From their commitment to the belief in the transformative power of our stories and for helping us document and archive our ideas, we thank you.”
