A POWERFUL VOICE FROM THE PLATEAU

Dr. Afan Azhang Kazé is an Associate Professor of African Literature in the Department of English at the University of Jos and one of the distinguished literary voices emerging from the Plateau.

He earned his PhD in English from Rhodes University, South Africa, where his research focused on Postcolonial Ecocriticism, exploring the intersections of literature, environment, identity, and society within African realities.

Beyond the classroom and academia, Dr. Kazé is a gifted fiction writer, poet, and singer songwriter whose creative works reflect deep cultural consciousness, artistic excellence, and thoughtful engagement with the African experience.

His voice continues to inspire conversations around literature, memory, identity, creativity, and the power of stories in shaping communities and nations.

We are honoured to host him at the 3rd Plateau International Literary Festival 2026 as part of a growing movement of writers, readers, thinkers, and culture shapers committed to strengthening the literary future of Plateau and beyond.
