World Book Day: School Moves To Encourage Writing, Documentation

As the international community marks World Book Day, Eminent ville Schools in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has marked the day with emphasis on the promotion of writing and documentation.
World Book Day, an event celebrated yearly on April 23 is a day organised by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation to promote reading, publishing and copyright.
However, Eminentville Schools management chose to celebrate the event, last Saturday, to enable parents and laureates watch performances by their children and wards on achievements by the school.
Speaking on the event, Manager of the internationally-affiliated schools, Dr. Eliphaletphebe Chinyere Amaewhule, in her opening address, said it has become very important to encourage children to read and write to encourage the reading culture in the society.
She said the school had to celebrate the World Book and Copyright Day yearly as its contribution to reviving the dying reading culture in the nation and to build a properly enlightened and educated society.
