Information for All: Towards Promoting Reading Culture and Readership for National Development in Nigeria:- Amogu Uma K.
ABSTRACT
Reading, the
practice of seeking knowledge, information or entertainment through the written
or printed word is one of the most effective means of disseminating and
preserving information. It broadens the mind of the reader and helps him
communicate effectively. It is a vital catalyst in literacy promotion and all
round development of a person vis-A-vis nation. This goes a long way to
underscore the importance of reading in human civilization. The decline in
reading culture is a global phenomenon but most experienced in Nigeria. The
paper therefore, aims at examining the deteriorating state of reading and poor
reading culture in Nigeria. It also examines the importance of reading in
national development, causes of poor reading culture and factors militating
against the entrenchment of reading culture in Nigeria. The paper concludes by
giving practicable suggestions on strategies for improving reading culture and
readership promotion for national development.
