In recognizing World Book and Copyright Day under the theme "Read... so you never feel alone", the NLJ reached out to authors locally and within the diaspora to read an excerpt from their publications. This was well received and a video production reiterating the importance of reading was created.
Please watch and enjoy excerpts from publications related to Empowerment and Education.
