The Abuja Literary Society was founded to bring together writers, aspiring writers, book-lovers, intellectuals, and anyone with an interest in the literary arts and looking to relax in a creative atmosphere in 1998.
To celebrate the second decade of the society, the team based in Abuja, Nigeria set up the Abuja Literary Festival in 2018.
It featured book readings, panel discussions, masterclasses, a poetry grand slam, a nature hike, a food fair, writing and arts competitions, and lots more. The event run physically and/or virtually in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022.
On Wednesday the organisers of the festival revealed that the literary shindig will be returning to Abuja in September.
