The group’s spokesman and author, Mr Anote Ajeluorou said the year’s event which kicked off with a members-only ‘meet and greet’, will expand to include a virtual celebration of the 4th anniversary of NBRP on February 7, 2024 themed ‘Getting Back The Reading Groove’, the annual Lagos Book Walk billed for March 7, 2024, and the flag-off of Yenagoa as the Nigerian National Book Clubs City of the year on April 23, 2024.
