Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Are Witches and Wizards Planning to Meet at UNN or are Scholars Planning a Conference to Discuss Witchcraft

Are church members involved in the activities of witches or are they in the busuness of witchcraft? 

I think a conference on witchcraft was organized by the Department of Religious Studies, University of Ibadan in the 60s/70s if I am not mistaken. 

I see no reason why the conference should not hold at UNN. 

Segun Ogungbemi.

UNN students deplore conference on witchcraft 

"But the President of the Students Union Government (SUG), Chimezie Fortunatus, who spoke to The Guardian on the issue expressed that contrary to various opinions on the upcoming conference on witchcraft, he believes the academia should be open to any form of discussion. "I do not see anything wrong with the proposed topic of discussion, it is supposed to increase our knowledge on the topic and not promote its practice. We are in a learning environment and are supposed to be open to anything new," he said."

Setting agenda for UNN's witchcraft conference  

 UNN cancels venue for conference on witchcraft  

Does this last report mean the venue has been changed but the conference proceeds?

One account is stating the conference has been cancelled.
