Advertisement for Selection of Companies to be Engaged as Event Managers for the 7th Nupe Day Festival Celebration

Pre-Qualification and Expression of Interest

A. Background

26th June of every calendar year beginning from year 2009 has been set aside as a day to be marked for celebration by all Sons and Daughters of the Nupe Kingdom. This cuts across Niger, Kwara, Kogi States and the FCT as well as those residing elsewhere within and outside the country. This has partly been initiated to foster unity, enhance cultural identity and harmony.

Historically, this date back in the year 1896 marked the first encounter and defeat of the British colonial forces by the Nupe Calvary at Ogidi in the present day Kogi State under the reign of one of our great forbearers, HRH Etsu Bubakar (Abubakar) of blessed Memory. This feat immensely whittled down the initial British colonization affront on the then Sokoto Caliphate and what is today’s Northern states of Nigeria.
