The board also listed the new literature texts for Igbo as “Prose (Iduuazi) Chinedu Ofomata (2009), Poetry (Abu) Nolue Emenanjo and Drama, (Ejije) Odunke Artists (1981).”
The board said the text for Literature-in-English include ‘Lion and the Jewel’ by Wole Soyinka; ‘Look Back in Anger’ by John Osborne; ‘Second Class Citizen’ by Buchi Emecheta and ‘Unexpected Joy at Dawn’ by Alex Agyei Agyiri.
It said ‘Heights’ by Emile Bronte is also included.
