The book Toluhi, Queen Moremi Ajasoro will be reading is titled “The Legendary Moremi Ajasoro”.

According to Toluhi Oreoluwa Adedamola, “I am going there to read the book with the children so that they can know how powerful Queen Moremi is in the Yoruba culture. We will move from school to school in the states. For now we have Enugu. From there we are moving to Kwara, Osun, Abeokuta, and then Lagos.”

She said the book is majorly on the history of Moremi which depicts leadership. “It will teach children how strong they can be and how vast an opportunity they have to do whatever they want to be.  She said the book is mainly for secondary schools. The reading, she said, is going to be combined with music and other forms of interactions with the children.
