Abstract
Intellectual creativity could be synonymous to a plant whereby,
certain conditions are required for growth and optimum production
without which the result is a poor yield. The performances of Nigerian
Authors in recent years have been dwindling rapidly despite the formation
of a parent body known as the Association of Nigeria Authors.
However, one should note that creativity of a writer could be
enhanced in a specialized environment, planned, designed, constructed
and furnished to be conducive to protecting the "flighty muse" that guides
the creative minds. Hence, as a link venture for economic growth,
understanding of culture, peace, prosperity and universal respect of
Fundamental human rights, the Association of Nigerian Authors has
clamoured for development of Authors' village.
It is hence on this basis that the authors' village, which shall be a
proposed to be financed by the Association of Nigerian Authors. The
village shall be situated, off path that leads to the main resource; the water
falls, such that the tourism activities, which are primarily known with the
area,' shall not be disrupted.
Recommendations would also be made which, if properly
implemented would foster creative writing and other academic research
activities. This at least by making the area livelier, would generate more
revenue for the neighboring villages and offer employment opportunities
to the citizens.

Conclusively, the provision of the Association of Nigeria Authors'
village in a conducive environment, within interesting natural features
will provide the stimulation and inspiration that could act as catalyst for
\ creative writing. This could be achieved by making the village a
convenient place for creative thinking/writing, convention and retreat
from the hassle and bustle of city life.
