The National Library of Nigeria and ZODML have encouraged pupils to develop a reading habit and regularly use physical libraries beyond their textbooks. They made this call during the 2026 International Literacy Day celebration in Lagos, organised by ZODML in partnership with the National Library of Nigeria's Lagos State Branch.
The Head of the National Library's Lagos branch, Obianuju Onuorah, urged young participants to read one book every month outside their textbooks, visit the library monthly, and teach one person what they have read. According to Punch, Onuorah said this would help protect their future.
As part of the programme, the National Library and ZODML donated 60 titles, comprising 80 volumes, to the libraries of eight Lagos schools, including Aiyetoro African Church Primary School and Makoko Primary School, as reported by Punch.
