Editor at Borders Literature Online

BORDERS is an exciting project of Sponsor A Child Nigeria and Selina Media, a division of Selina Travels. The project was conceived to promote the reading culture in Nigeria and Africa and to promote the reading of African books worldwide. In 2015, Borders was a forum for engaging with important issues and events in Africa’s history as recorded or reflected in good books written by Africans and non-Africans.

In 2016, Borders, additionally, became a platform for introducing to the general public, and in particular to a 15 - 35 years age cohort, literary successors to 1st and 2nd generation African authors. In 2017, Borders brought readers insight into the book industry via book trade interviews with distinguished practitioners: publishers, booksellers, librarians and other stakeholders whose support as consumers and producers of the African book, is vital to the industry.
