She noted that the ability to express and communicate among the younger generation, is a consciousness of learning. Her words, “We hosted this fair to enable children partake in read aloud sessions and enable them win solar-powered reading lamps and book vouchers to stock up personal and school libraries.

“This World Book Day creates an  avenue for children to see the largest book in Nigeria, meet-up with celebrity African and Nigerian authors, and have an interaction with uncle A of Scrap Palace.

In addition, the children got books at discounted rates from major publishers and bookstores.”

They also gain entry into Nigeria’s first innovative mobile library for children, schools”  the children advocate.
