THE Vice-Chancellor, Mountain Top University, MTU, Prof. Elijah Ayolabi, has said for reading culture to improve in the country, the government must place a high premium on education.
He said this at the one day event to mark the 2021 International Book Day organised by the MTU Library.
He noted that the lecture tagged:
Plagiarism and copyright in academic writing, presented by Dr Ifeoma Oluwasemilore, to mark the occasion, was apt as it exposed those in the writing business to the importance attached to producing an intellectual work.
According to him: “One of the ways to improve reading culture is to create awareness and encourage reading culture in the country. It is also by publishing and making it available not only in hard copy but also in electronic format, because these days, people want the electronic format more.
