Students of Nupe extraction at the Federal Polytechnic, Bida, Niger State, have taken cultural preservation to a new level by producing a movie that celebrates the richness of Nupe traditions.

The project was unveiled during the institution’s Student Cultural Day, an annual event that allows students to showcase the values, traditions, and artistry of their various ethnic groups.

The film, produced entirely by the students, highlights the Nupe people’s heritage, storytelling, and way of life, blending entertainment with cultural education.

Speaking at the event, representatives of the Nupe Student Union emphasized that the movie was not just about entertainment but also aimed at passing down cultural knowledge to younger generations.

“We want to remind ourselves and educate others about the uniqueness of the Nupe culture. This movie is our way of telling our own story,” one of the student leaders said.

The cultural day also featured traditional music, dance, and fashion displays, further reinforcing the importance of cultural identity among Nigerian students.

Observers at the event praised the initiative, noting that using modern platforms like film can help preserve culture while making it relatable to wider audiences.

This milestone by Federal Polytechnic Bida students has been described as a significant step in promoting indigenous culture within academic communities.
