EKITI BOOK CLUB TAKES READING CAMPAIGN TO THE GEM SCHOOL

 

In a bid to continue the good works left unattended for a brief spell, EBC visited a prominent primary and secondary private school in Oye Ekiti on the 25th of June, 2021.

 

The junior secondary school students who were the major attendees were lectured by Miss Pelumi Jegede on the values of reading early in life and the various benefits of reading good books no matter the field one might be in.

 

Miss Olapeju Atere, the second speaker spoke on reading culture and how readers become writers and leaders. She also elaborated on the importance of quality education and how one can make a great change in the world affairs through writing.

 

The speech was rounded up by Miss Hannah Ojo and a call for avid readers and writers were made in which a very large percentage of the students indicated interest.

 

It is very encouraging to know that most of these students have read far and wide on several books as they mentioned popular books and names of their authors. This shows a good teaching ethics set by the school authority in grooming their students.

 

The lecture lasted for an hour and pictures were taken with the students and their teachers.
