For many residents of Awka, the forcefully emerging capital city of Anambra State, this year’s Christmas will go down in history as the Open Sesame for a glorious future.
Following the resolve of the Willie Obiano administration to lead the state to a bright new day, a special festival tagged the Anambra Heritage Festival was organised to shake up the social circuit in the state.
The Festival which began with a cultural display by masquerades from the 21 Local Government Areas on Tuesday December 23 came to a dazzling end on Boxing Day with special Jamblast at the Alex Ekweme Square, headlined by the iconic hip-hop and Igbo rap sensation, Phyno.
It was a night of colour and razzmatazz that brought the glamorous side of Awka and marked the beginning of a proper entertainment scene in Anambra State.
