The Publisher of www.theleaderng.com , Mr Ebriku john Friday(JP) on the occasion of his birthday on Saturday, 16 February 2019, launched a library in his name.
This vision was birthed by a group of young individuals under the auspices of ‘ IMPACT FOUNDATION FOR YOUTHS DEVELOPMENT’ who in a bid to cultivate a reading habit amongst the younger generation especially those who lack access to adequate reading materials have decided to construct and donate at least 8 libraries in 2019 across the country with the EJF Library being the first in the series.
The library project is situated at Divine Providence Home, Igoli- Ogoja, Local Government Area of Cross River state and was commissioned by Chief Paul Sanctos, the Chief Executive Officer of Sanctuscom Agrohub Limited.
While speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Mr Ebriku thanked the organizers of such a lofty idea in his honour and promised to make more reading materials available for the library and those to be created in the nearest future, he thanked those in charge of the home for providing the group the space for the construction of the library.
Mr Ebriku who is a seasoned journalist has through various mediums lend his voice on the need for youths to cultivate a healthy reading habit, as this is the most viable way to create a whole new generation of leaders and global change makers.
