Eight public and private secondary schools in Aba will participate in the maiden edition of Aba Literary Week 1.0, an educational empowerment initiative organised by the All Saints Secondary School, Ehere ’92 Set, to promote reading culture and healthy academic competition among students.
The literary week, scheduled for February 24, 25 and 27, 2026, will hold at Priqueen International School, Ogbor Hill, Aba. Activities will include quiz competitions, literary reviews and presentations based on the novel Beaten by Obinna Olewe, a member of the alumni association.

Speaking on the project, President of the All Saints ’92 Set, Chief Engr. Martin Ikechukwu Uzoegwu, described the initiative as a strategic investment in young minds. He stated that the association is committed to “building a sustainable platform that encourages lifelong learning, strengthens reading culture and positively influences the educational ecosystem within Aba and beyond.”
