With just one month left until the event, the Nigerian Book Fair Trust (NBFT) has recently unveiled their newly enhanced website and social media accounts, which will serve as key resources for attendees and followers.

One of the key features of the NIBF 2023 is that it will be a hybrid experience. This means that participants can choose to attend the event in person or virtually, making it accessible to people from all over the world and it underscores the NBFT's commitment to inclusivity and accessibility.

For those who have not yet registered for the event, the NBFT has provided a link on their website: https://nigeriabookfair.org for easy registration. This process is quick and simple, and it ensures that attendees can make the most of their experience at the Book Fair.

On these platforms, the NBFT will post daily updates about the event, as well as photos, videos, and other engaging content.

In addition to providing updates about the event, the NBFT's social media accounts are a great way to connect with other attendees and exhibitors. By using hashtags and tagging the NBFT in their posts, attendees can share their experiences and engage with others who are interested in the event.

The NBFT's social media accounts are also an excellent resource for those who cannot attend the event in person. By following these accounts, virtual attendees can stay up-to-date with the latest news and information, and feel like they are a part of the event, even from afar.

One of the key benefits of the NIBF 2023 is the opportunity to meet and network with other people in the publishing industry. The enhanced website and social media accounts provide a platform for attendees to connect with each other before, during, and after the event. This can lead to valuable collaborations, partnerships, and friendships that extend beyond the Book Fair.

The NBFT's commitment to enhancing their website and social media accounts is a reflection of their dedication to making the NIBF 2023 the best event yet.
