Boosting Reading Culture among Youths in Nigeria

There is need to boost the reading culture of Nigerians, because books are very important and people need to always read in order to broaden their horizons, as well as to be well-informed.

Youths especially are fond of not reading, they find reading tedious and stressful most times and they turn to the internet for entertainment.

Lack of well-equipped libraries, poor orientation concerning the importance of books, and misuse of the internet, are part of the reasons why people don’t read in Nigeria.

A solution to this is that authors should find out what readers, especially their target audience want through researching about what they want to read and also how to appeal to the readers. By finding out these two things, authors will be able to attract readers.

Another solution is that there should be proper orientation concerning how youths can use the internet in the right way and even how they can read through different internet platforms.

Also, there should be orientation concerning the need to read, need to improve the mind, and why reading is very important.

With all these, the reading culture among youths can be improved.
