Government at all levels have been urged to implement policies that promote learning among children, particularly in light of the World Book and Copyright Day. The Programme Manager of The Young African Bookworms Initiative, Mr. Tola Oni, emphasized the importance of access to books for children and youths, highlighting its role in fostering literacy, expanding knowledge, and unlocking personal growth opportunities. The theme for this year’s event is “Celebrating World Book and Copyright Day: Promoting Literature and Intellectual Property Rights.” The World Book and Copyright Day, observed annually on April 23, celebrates literature’s richness and its societal impact globally.
