The Committee for Relevant Art (CORA), in partnership with The Nigeria Prize for Literature, hosted a book party in Lagos over the weekend to honour the 11 authors longlisted for the 2025 edition of the prize.
The event marked the first public appearance of the longlisted writers and featured book readings and a panel discussion, with authors participating both in person and virtually. The gathering brought together members of the literary community, including writers, readers, media professionals, and literature lovers in a celebration of Nigerian storytelling.
The longlist was drawn from 252 entries and selected by a panel of judges chaired by Professor Saeedat Bolajoko Aliyu of Kwara State University. Other members of the panel included Professor Stephen Mbanefo Ogene of Nnamdi Azikiwe University and Mr. Olakunle Kasumu, host of Channels Book Club.
