The National Librarian, Prof. Lenrie Aina, says that Nigeria is not rated among the most reading countries in the world.
Aina, who is also the Chief Executive Officer, National Library of Nigeria, said this in Enugu at the Readership Promotion Campaign.
He said that a recent study on the most reading countries in the world showed that Nigeria was not mentioned in the ranking, while Egypt and South Africa were among the first 30 countries rated.
Aina said that it was against the background that the National Library embarked on an intensive readership promotion campaign across the country to encourage reading among Nigerians as well as to identify obstacles inhibiting reading and proffer solutions
