He also underlined the importance of providing high-quality educational resources to raise the standard of education in society.

Anioke said that “the theme for this workshop has been carefully chosen in line with the general theme of the book fair.

Anioke added that although the release of a draft national book policy by the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, on the first day of the book fair was praiseworthy, it was necessary to ensure that the draft bill was signed into law, which made the workshop necessary.
