With a first – of – its – kind Young people’s reading fiesta, Lagos state is about to record yet another historical Hallmark.
This coming occasion, the “one million readers campaign”, an initiative of Kevbe Book Haven Enterprises, is to be sponsored by the Lagos state govt as part of its development agenda towards sustaining the state’s excellence and progressive leadership.
The campaign billed to happen strategically across select areas of the state, such as, Festac, Lekki, will attract young readers who are potential leaders from schools, groups, families.
It will equally attract authors and publishers for books reviews, interactions and donations to schools and libraries.
Significantly, this campaign will foster enhanced literacy level and redirect the attention of young people from negative social allures that ignite moral, intellectual and psychological decline.
Extending advance appreciation to the Lagos state govt for partnership and sponsorship, Founder of Kevbe Book Haven Enterprises and lead reader, Josephine Oghenekevbe, described the leadership of His Excellency, Babajide Sanwoolu as an enviable trendsetter, stressing that Lagos state is arguably a confluence where nation builders must use as pilot, particularly because Nigeria is comprised in Lagos.
She urged Nigerian families to be alert for this developmental amazement powered by Lagos – the centre of excellence.
