In light of this, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) on Thursday, December 19 premiered Bintu – The Musical in Nigeria. Bintu – The Musical is based on the real-life experiences of people caught in the conflict which has driven an estimated two million people from their homes. The play follows a young girl called Bintu, whose dream of going to university is dramatically cut short when insurgents strike. It is a call to action from humanity to help humanity,” said Ugwu, whose Mosaic Theatre Production developed the play with WFP. The premiere of Bintu – The Musical in Lagos will be followed by a showing in Abuja in the first quarter of 2020.
