DR DARE AJIBOYE GENERAL SECRETARY,BIBLE SOCIETY OF NIGERIA
Nigeria has a vibrant book publishing industry, with perhaps the largest number of publishing houses in any African country.
At one stage, prospects for the book industry in Nigeria appeared rosy. The Federal Government established paper and pulp making industries, and an elaborate plan was drawn up for achieving self- sufficiency in the production of books, but unfortunately all that collapsed following the nation’s economic downturn of the 1980s.
And book famine descended on Nigeria.
One indication of the unhealthy state of the book sector in Nigeria since 1981 has been the number of task forces, study groups, conferences and committees set up to make recommendations on various facets of book production and distribution, including ways to equip the book sector and make it meet the needs of the educational system. In the studio with us, is a publishing expert, Dr…, who will be speaking to us on the prospects and challenges of book publishing industry in Nigeria.
