FESTAC '77 was a massive international festival bankrolled by Nigeria and featured the best peformances in art, culture, music and civilization of black people of Earth. The extensive and expansive recordings in 1977 on Quad tape of FESTAC '77 easily representing the largest collection of black man's heritage is kept at the belly of the National Theatre rottening away. Nothing has been done to transfer the materials into digital storage despite desperate calls to the authorities. If the materials are lost, it will be a disgrace to Nigeria and a disaster to the bblack world. Lets sustain this call for the restoration of FESTAC '77 recorded materials.
