The Ghana Book Development Council organised a Reading-with-Author session at Atomic Hills 1 Basic School on July 24, 2024, to promote reading among pupils in the basic schools.

The session was held with Dr Gyesika Agambila, an author. Dr. Agambila also served as a former deputy minister of finance and economic planning, harbours and railways, and environment and science during President Kufuor regime.

Dr. Agambila took the pupils through the correct use of some English language words and expressions. He also read one of his books, titled, “Solma”.

The pupils had the opportunity to ask the author questions about the book he read and his inspiration for writing books.

This initiative is part of the Council’s efforts to encourage a culture of reading and writing among school children.
