What Leading Voices Are Saying About Readers Are Leaders

There is no doubt that Readers are leaders is a valuable addition to the collection of every Nigerian that believes in improving the reading culture of Nigerians. Dr. Elvis Ukpaka has done an excellent job. He deserves the commendation of all Nigerians who believe in Nigeria becoming a knowledge society.  I have no hesitation in recommending this book to all Nigerians irrespective of their status.

The language is clear, concise, readers friendly and the examples quoted to support the argument gives the book its motivational flavour. Aspiring leaders must read this beautiful expose.

The book is a treasure. In it, the good, the challenging and the lessons of the times wait for the person with the discipline to explore its bowels. To them who will be leaders, they unlock the wisdom of generations. Elvis Ukpaka scopes and elucidates on the truism of leaders as readers who found the light between the pages. But how many who acquire books read them? As a 15-year-old, I read Time Magazine and NewsWeek cover to cover every week, and competed with school mates on the James Hardly Chase, Agatha Christie novel count. I can, therefore, appreciate Dr. Ukpaka’s quest to restore a reading culture in Nigeria.
