‘Despite tech revolution, books remain catalysts for critical thinking, transformation’

The Vice Chancellor, Lead City University (LCU), Ibadan, Prof. Kabiru Adeyemo, has noted that despite the advent of technology, books remained catalysts for critical thinking and instruments of transformation.
 
Adeyemo stated this during a book presentation, titled: ‘Broken heart, yet unbroken,’ written by Osarumen Izevbigie-Osagie, at the International Conference Centre of the institution.

Adeyemo disclosed that the book was written as proof that literature still mattered.  He said: “In a world where technology often wins and life appears to move faster by the day, it is good to stop and celebrate the enduring power of the written word. In fact, books are more than mere encyclopaedias; they are doors into other worlds, catalysts for critical thinking, and instruments of transformation.

“What distinguishes this book from others lies not so much in its literary quality or scholarly rigour, but in its ability to touch people across various backgrounds and perspectives,” Adeyemo added.

The chief launcher and author’s husband, Martins Osagie, commended the writer’s efforts, vision and love for humanity, while the author expressed gratitude to God for the success of the book.

The launch of the 306-page book attracted eminent personalities, including LCU’s Pro-Chancellor, Prof. Jide Owoeye, Head of Political Science and International Relations department of the university, Prof. Akeem Amodu; the Dean of Faculty of Education, Prof. Donald Odeleye; Dr Olufemi Badru, and Mr Fola Akinyode, among others.
