According to a statement made available to PUNCH Online on Monday, the presentation of the book published by Premium Times Books, would also feature a panel discussion themed, “Reflections on the Media.”
The unveiling, described as “one of the most genuinely anticipated events in the media in the first half of 2024” by a joint statement from Azu Ishiekwene and Premium Times Books, promises to be a significant gathering for media professionals and enthusiasts.
“We are delighted that after weeks of promotional efforts and reviews to highlight a book that offers significant value and reward for content creators, especially in the media, the public will finally get this book in their hands.
“Vice President Kashim Shettima, renowned for his support of the literary community, is expected to attend as the special guest of honour,” the statement read.
