Runsewe Honoured as Brand Ambassador for RATTAWU

The Director General of the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), Otunba Segun Runsewe, has been appointed the Brand Ambassador of Radio, Television, Theatre and Arts and Workers Union of Nigeria (RATTAWU).

The National President of RATTAWU, Dr. Kabir Garba Sanni, disclosed this when the national body of RATTAWU paid a courtesy call to Runsewe in Abuja.

Sanni, who sought partnership with the National Council for Arts and Culture under the dynamic leadership of Runsewe, described culture as the proverbial double edge sword that if properly harnessed can serve not only as a source of unity but can also be used as a vital tool for forging unity in diversity among all nations of the world.

RATTAWU president, who was excited about the achievements of Runsewe within the past four years, enumerated the activities of RATTAFEST which he categorised as a competitive and non-competitive event.

According to him, competitive events include indigenous dance, traditional beauty pageant (Miss RATTAFEST) indigenous choral music, radio and drama presentation, traditional wrestling, TV documentation and arts and craft exhibition while the noncompetitive events include street carnivals, workshops, inspirational music, solo dance, command performance, jingles and Gala night among others.

In his remarks, Runsewe expressed delight in their visit which he described as an honour, stating that RATTAWU should be seen as a bulletproof that makes the working relationship in any Ministry, Departments and Agencies of government very cordial.

He thanked the National President of RATTAWU, Tsanni and his team for the role they played during the just concluded National Festival of Arts and Culture (NAFEST) held in Ado Ekiti last month.
According to Runsewe, RATTAWU will be given a leading specific and visible role to play in the forthcoming National Festival of Arts and Culture scheduled for Lagos next year.

The NCAC boss accepted the offer to become a brand Ambassador for RATTAWU and their request for partnership.
He also accepted their request for partnership with RATTAWU to host its annual media and cultural fiesta RATTAFEST.
Both parties agreed to make the forthcoming RATTAFEST a huge success.
