OkadaBooks at The Inaugural International Publishers Association (IPA) Africa Seminar



On the 9th of May, 2018, we were glad to have been part of The inaugural International Publishers Association (IPA) Africa Seminar. It was held in an Oscar-like decorated conference hall at Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos. Titled‘ Publishing for Sustainable Development – The Role of Publishers in Africa,’ and jointly organized by the IPA and the Nigerian Publishers Association (NPA).

The seminar focused on a lot of key factors affecting publishing and book distribution in Nigeria and African at large.

The seminar started with a welcome speech from The President of the Nigerian Publishers Association, Gbadega Adedapo. His opening speech touched on the fact that the African Publishing Industry has a good story to tell but was not yet drumming it loudly. He attributed it partly to the fact that the African Publishing industry presently faces a very high level of piracy.
