The Network of Book Clubs and Reading Culture Promoters in Nigeria, NBRP has outlined a strong and impactful package of activities for 2024, a statement from it’s spokesman, Mr Anote Ajeluorou has disclosed.
Beginning with it’s opening members-only ‘Meet and Greet’ session in January, activities would then build on to the 4th anniversary celebration of the founding of NBRP scheduled for February 7, 2024.
Following on the heels of the anniversary celebration are the 2024 edition of the annual Lagos Book Walk event which is billed for March 7, and the flagging off of Yenagoa’s tenure as the Nigerian National Book Clubs City from April 23, 2024. Yenagoa would be taking up the baton from Lagos which had itself succeeded Uyo in that role.
Other activities listed in the calendar for the year 2024 include participations at the Nigerian International Book Fair in May and the Lagos Book and Arts Festival in November. There is also the annual crown jewel event of the association, namely the Annual General Meeting and National Conference on Reading which would hold this year in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State in September.
