The event held at the Auditorium of Onitsha Divisional Library, Onitsha, and saw different speakers speak on the theme of literacy.
Mr. Onyeka Ozoudeokpoko one of the speakers who did a presentation on the theme “Literacy in The COVID-19 Period”, emphasized the need for people to use their reasoning and knowledge to carve a niche for themselves. In addition, utilize the internet to showcase their activities and businesses.
On her part, Mrs. Ijeoma Ireh, another speaker and an educationist shared her experience on how she developed herself through the effective use of the library; with her inculcating the spirit of reading in her children very early.
