After a year’s closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ebedi International Writers Residency in Iseyin, Oyo State, Nigeria, has reopened with the arrival of four female writers at the residency over the weekend.

The writers are drawn from Nigeria, Togo and the US.

The writers, who will be in the residency from four to six weeks, will work on their individual writing projects and also mentor Iseyin students in the area of creative arts.

The Ebedi Residency is a private initiative for creative Writers and Artists to complete their works in a conducive environment at no cost to the writers.

The residency has hosted about 130 writers from 10 different countries since it was established in 2010.
