Students of the Department of Theatre Arts, Federal University Lokoja (FUL), have concluded their 2026 Community Theatre Project with a series of drama performances aimed at promoting unity, self-help, and community development in Karaworo Community, New Layout, Lokoja.
The 300-Level students of the department carried out the outreach, as they used participatory drama to draw attention to challenges facing the community, including tribalism, poor road infrastructure, inadequate water supply, erratic electricity, and lack of collective action among residents.
Through thought-provoking playlets staged over the weekend, the students emphasised the importance of peaceful coexistence, dialogue, and communal responsibility as key drivers of sustainable development.
