Speaking during the occasion, Mr. Yuri Olumba, Managing Partner, Folktales Moonlight, stated: “The  project is part of our corporate social responsibility initiative. Our target audience are secondary schools students. We intend to encourage a better reading habit amongst the youths and engage them positively with techniques for improved efficiency in positive thinking, dedication and a sense of national responsibility at their early stage, for a better society in the future”.

Project Coordinator, Mr.Ugoh Aji, explained that the second  phase of the project is slated for July 22, in Lagos, entitled, “Nelson RolihlahIa Mandela-The Authorized Comic Book”.
