In the resolution, the Senate said Achebe’s global significance lies not only in his talent and recognition as a writer, but also as a critical thinker and essayist who wrote extensively on questions of the role of culture in Africa along with the social and political significance of aesthetics and analysis of the post-colonial state in Africa.
