EKO BOOK CLUB TURNS ELEVEN, UNVEILS NEW LOGO

 

Eko Book Club, one of the book clubs of the Society of Young Nigerian Writers (SYNW) has turned Eleven; and to signpost this milestone, the Club has launched a brand new logo.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Coordinator of the Club, Princess Faozat Modupeola Kalejaiye in Lagos on Thursday.

 

Princess Faozat Modupeola Kalejaiye disclosed that the new logo had been received with warmth and excitement among members and executives of the Club.

 

Explaining the reason for the new logo, Eko Book Club Coordinator, Princess Faozat Modupeola Kalejaiye emphasized that it was borne out of the need to communicate the club’s indisputable status as one of the major book stakeholders in Lagos; what it stands for; and its true identity, all of which drove the process of creating the new logo.

According to the statement, “Eko Book Club’s new logo is not only a new identity celebrating the club’s proud history in the last 11 years; we would like to thank all our members who have been with us over the past 11 years. It has been a tremendous journey of growth and success. We want to assure our members that we are excited and ready for the future. Our vision of taking reading culture to the nooks and crannies of Lagos state remains the same and we believe together we will accomplish great things.”

Eko Book Club (EBC) is an initiative of the Society of Young Nigerian Writers (SYNW). It was founded in 2011 by the SYNW in order to contribute its own quota to the growth and development of Reading Culture in Lagos State.

In 2014, Eko Book Club held her first EKO Creative Writing Workshop in conjunction with the National Library of Nigeria (NLN) Lagos State Branch and recently held her first Fiction Writing Webinar where it hosted two prominent fiction writers; Gabriel Sunday Afolayan (current ANA Ondo State Chairman) and Albert Afeso Akanbi (pioneer coordinator of SYNW in Osun State) who gave brilliant presentations on the Fundamentals and Techniques of Fiction Writing.
