ANUCAM releases new books

ANUCAM Educational Books, AEB Plc, has released a series of reviewed and updated books for the academic year 2014/2015.

Talking about the reviewed and updated books, the Editor-in-Chief at ANUCAM, David Njousi Abang; said the books are tailored to meet the expectations of all the stakeholders.

He said the Ministry of Secondary Education, its departments and delegations; pedagogic inspectors have put down syllabuses, for instance; breaking down them down to work schemes.

Abang posited that: “In reviewing books, you must take that into consideration, the fact, which is the foundation of a book. Our role is to provide flesh to the skeleton. It is to make the books to empower the children and ease the work of teachers so that teaching and learning flow smoothly.

We have come up with new products: a new syllabus has been drawn for ‘A’ Level Literature as provided by the General Certificate of Education, GCE Board and we have designed books to meet this,” he explined.

ANUCAM Launches Literary Series ANUCAM has launched a literary series with books like ‘Lines of Times’ by Bouddih Adams and ‘Across The Moungolo’ by Prof. John Nkengasong.

Asked why ANUCAM has engaged in a literary series, Abang said: “Our intension is to broaden readership and enhance extensive reading in a community where the reading culture has hit the rock bottom.”

Harping on the innovations which he said, make ANUCAM proud, Abang boasted: “Our golden gift to the nation is the Citizenship Education for ‘O’ Level.”

Other books released for GCE ‘A’ Level Literature are: ‘Hamlet’ by William Shakespeare; ‘Death of a Salesman’ by Arthur Miller; ‘The General Prologue and the Franklin’s Prologue and Tale’ by Geoffrey Chaucer; ‘Selected Poems of Black Africa for ‘A’ Level Literature’ – ANUCAM Edition; ‘The Way of The World’ by William Congreve; ‘Folks of Wangi by Comfort Onya’ and so on.

Talking about other ANUCAM services to the nation, Ngabe Nkwelle, Head of Corporate Affairs, said: “We don’t do business only to make money; ANUCAM Foundation last year donated books worth over FACF 60,000 to the underprivileged and the needy. So, we are not only selling books, we are also out to help”.

He said the books are donated through credible Non-Governmental Organisations, NGOs, who deal with underprivileged people.

“We have received applications and are processing them and would make the donations. As usual, we will be giving prizes to schools, teachers and we will be organising in-service training as our contribution or giving back to the community as part of our corporate social responsibility,” Nkwelle maintained.
