Summary:

by Abdulsalami Kovo, Omo Oaiya, and Judith Fathallah

 

The Open Book Collective is delighted to share a second update from the first project awarded from our Collective Development Fund, titled ‘Fostering Academic Self-Reliance in Nigeria through Open Access Books’. Hosted at the Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMinna), this project is establishing a sustainable platform to empower Nigerian scholars and educators to create, produce, and disseminate high-quality open access books, as well as fostering new collaborations across Academic Publishing Centres in Nigeria's six geopolitical zones. Here, project lead Professor Abdulsalami Kovo and Omo Oaiya (WACREN) provide an update on the work accomplished since our last update in April.
