GPA URGES GHANAIANS TO DEVELOP GOOD READING HABBIT

The Ghana Publishers Association has made a passionate appeal to all Ghanaians to take advantage of the forthcoming Book Fair and improve the reading culture of the country. This appeal was made by the Executive Secretary of the association, Mr. Fauna Atta Frimpong in an exclusive interview with Regina Asamoah in Accra. He said, the association in its bid to help Ghanaians improve their reading culture, has changed the book fair which was held every two years to an annual event. Mr. Frimpong noted that this year’s book fair which comes off in November is targeted at the Children since they are the future leaders and hence their reading habit must be improved. This year’s fair is on the theme ‘Child Literacy, the Foundation for Future Development. A reading nation is a winning nation’ and expected to yield the highest record of attendance. Mr. Frimpong has therefore urged all Ghanaians to make reading part of their daily activities since knowledge acquisition is through reading.
