The world’s political and business leaders, who are participating in the three-day World Economic Forum, WEF, in Abuja, will be entertained with a dance, tagged, ‘Kakadu Dance,’ to illustrate the glorious past of Nigeria as a nation.

A statement by the former Minister of Information, Mr. Frank Nweke jr, stated that the musical group, will illustrate in dance the unity that had bound Nigeria together as a nation.

According to him:  “The enthralling and scintillating performance of the young cast of Kakadu, is a story of Nigeria’s glorious past when our people were truly one. When we lived together in peace and harmony in the true African spirit of being our brother’s keeper!

“No one cared about the other people’s ethnic origin.  We celebrated together, we danced, sang together, and mourned together.

“In our homes and our communities, we were one people under one God.”

He applauded the efforts of the author of the script, Mr. Uche Nwokedi, SAN, for a brilliant idea that is quintessentially Nigerian.

“I believe in the high destiny of our country and the talent of our people. The Kakadu story is an evidence of the creative genius of our people.

“Its graphic execution on stage embodies the promise of our nation’s youth. The cast that took our story to the world in Davos, Switzerland, holds the key to Nigeria’s future.”
