Following the successful Ibadan Book Review Writing Workshop, Sensitization Workshop on Legal Deposit, ISBN, ISSN, and the Ibadan Book Publishing Workshop, the Ibadan Book Club, in conjunction with the Milton Society of Africa, is excited to announce that Mojeed Ajibola Adeyinka and Maxwell Orah will headline its October Book Reading. This much-anticipated event is scheduled for Saturday, October 26, 2024, at the Oyo State Library Board, opposite Cocoa House, Dugbe, Ibadan, starting at 12 PM.

Mojeed Ajibola Adeyinka, a final-year student of Communication and Language Arts at the University of Ibadan, brings a wealth of experience and talent to the event. Trained in journalism at the National Broadcast Academy in Ikeja, Lagos State, Mojeed is not only an award-winning writer but also a celebrated campus journalist. His contributions to literature have positioned him as a rising star in the literary community.    

Mojeed has authored three books that showcase his diverse writing capabilities. His debut, "Haleemah The Healthy Girl," highlights his storytelling prowess. "The New Normal," his second work, has been recognized by the Oyo State Ministry of Education as recommended literature for junior secondary schools, underscoring his impact on educational literature. His latest book, "The Breakfast," further solidifies his reputation as a compelling storyteller.

Beyond his writing, Mojeed Ajibola is known for his passion for reading and his engaging presence as a compere at religious and social events. His ability to connect with audiences makes him an ideal speaker for the Ibadan Book Club, where he will undoubtedly inspire attendees with his insights and literary journey.

Joining Mojeed is Maxwell Orah, a postgraduate student of English at the University of Ibadan and a passionate poet who expresses his experiences through metaphor. Poetry serves as both a refuge during challenging times and a space for contemplation and fresh insights into life for Maxwell. His unique perspective on life and literature promises to resonate with the audience, ensuring an enriching reading experience.

The October Book Reading is part of the Ibadan Book Club's ongoing commitment to promoting literature and fostering a love for reading within the state. This event not only provides a platform for emerging writers like Mojeed and Maxwell but also encourages dialogue and engagement among literature enthusiasts.

Attendees can anticipate an afternoon filled with thought-provoking discussions, readings from the authors' works, and the opportunity to interact with these talented writers. The Ibadan Book Club invites all book lovers, students, and the general public to join this celebration of literature and creativity.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 26, 2024, and join us at the Oyo State Library Board, Dugbe, Ibadan, at 12 PM. It promises to be an unforgettable gathering of minds and words.
