The ceremony will be without Nobel Prize winner for literature, László Krasznahorkai, absent for health reasons
The 2025 Nobel Prize season begins on Monday with the announcement of the winner in the Physiology or Medicine category.
During the meeting, Mr Soyinka presented his translated book, Mito, Literatura e o Mundo Africano (Myth, Literature, and the African World), to Mr da Silva.
This recognition comes as Chimamanda prepares to release her highly anticipated novel, “Dream Count,” in March 2025.
The NCC described Mr Soyinka as unarguably the tallest living iroko in Nigeria’s rich literary forest and an advocate for books, reading and copyright.
Nobel Prize winners will receive one million Swedish kronor more in prize money this year, bringing the total to $985,000, says the Nobel Foundation.
