Nigeria: CEPTAC Donates Tourism Books to Varsity

28 September 2014

The Centre for the Promotion of Peace, Tourism, Art and Culture (CEPTAC) has donated tourism and historical books to the Ignatius Ajupu University of Education (formerly Rivers State University of Education), Port Harcourt. Among the books donated to the school were: Memories of the Niger Delta Slave Trade Routes and Towards the Culture of Peace in the Niger Delta.

In his speech while presenting the books to the vice-chancellor of the school, Professor Rosemond Dienye Green Osahogulu, the president of the CEPTAC, Chief Amachree, said the NGO decided to present the books to the school to avail the youths the opportunity to know more about the history and culture of their fatherland and their roots; to remind them of the trans-Atlantic slave trade era when their ancestors were sold as slaves by the Europeans through Bonny Island, Calabar, Akassa and Badagry ports and to resurrect the reading habit of youths, especially now that Port Hacourt has been designated as the World Book Capital for 2014.
