Award-winning Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Adichie, says becoming the first woman in her Abba hometown of Anambra State to bag a chieftaincy title will inspire other women to follow suit.
Adichie, the multi-award winning writer, over the weekend received the title of ‘Odeluwa’ which loosely translates to ‘The one who writes for the world’ from the traditional ruler of Abba, Igwe L.N. Ezeh.
In her appreciation post on Wednesday, she urged culture custodians to celebrate men and women equally.
“I am the first woman in my hometown to be made a chief, and it makes me happy to know that more women will follow,” the celebrated writer wrote on Facebook
