Nigerian NGO Revives Reading Culture Among Secondary School Students Through Creative Writing Initiatives

An NGO in Nigeria, led by Ngamdi, is focused on reviving the reading culture among secondary school students. The organization conducts workshops and coaching sessions in secondary schools across Nigeria to promote creative writing.

They have launched a competition inviting secondary school students to submit prose and poetry, with prizes for the top three winners. The NGO plans to publish an anthology featuring the top 50 submissions, along with a photobook showcasing the students.

Ngamdi emphasizes the importance of nurturing creativity in young students before they get distracted by university education. Inspired by a poetry volume in London, Ngamdi aims to motivate students to continue writing and pursue their passions.

The organization seeks to provide opportunities for students to express themselves through writing, regardless of their future career paths.
