Students, teachers and parents celebrated the authors at the 2026 Annual Children’s Book Festival.
The festival known as Acada was also aimed at promoting reading culture.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the festival, which is the eighth edition, took place in Lagos with the theme, “Big Dreams, Brave Stories”.
Acada’s Founder, Olubunmi Aboderin-Talabi, said the aim of the festival was also to improve access to age-appropriate indigenous story books.
