Engage in reading, lecturer tells students

The Head of Department, Dental Technology,
School of Dental Technology and Therapy,
Enugu, Mr. Oladimeji Sikiru, has advised
Nigerian students to engage more in
reading books to improve their lives.
Sikiru gave the advice on Monday in Enugu
at the presentation of a book titled The Gold
is Mine.
He commended the author, Miss Chidinma
Ezeogbuka, a first year student of the school,
for the initiative.
The lecturer attributed Ezeogbuka's
achievement, in spite of her tight academic
schedule, to her "good reading habit".
He said imbibing the habit of reading would
enhance students' academic quality and
improve their skills.
The book reviewer, Mr. Joe Asogwa,
described writing as a revolution, as well as
an agent of change.
He commended the author and her parents,
Mr. and Mrs Sunday Ezeogbuka, for
supporting and encouraging her to write
the book.
Asogwa, who retired from the Department
of Political Science, University of Nigeria,
Nsukka, urged Ezeogbuka to continue with
the work of writing.
He said that the joy of any writer was that
even after he or she had passed on, his or
her works would still speak for him or her.
Asogwa added that the ideas of the writer
would "continue to circulate as long as there
is life on earth".
He also advised other students to emulate
Ezeogbuka's example by reading often, so
as to have ideas and knowledge of their
environment.
