Renowned economist and Industry leader, Chinwe Egwim, recently launched her book, Super E: The Inflation Smackdown.
The event brought together esteemed guests, children, and parents alike, creating an atmosphere of excitement and knowledge-sharing.
The occasion was an opportunity for attendees to delve into the world of economics and gain a deeper understanding of inflation through the captivating journey of Chichi, Fola, Rukky, Sadiq and their friends, as well as Super E, a superhero economist who makes complex economic ideas simple and relatable to children.
The book launch event hosted notable figures, a blend of professionals, educators, entrepreneurs and public figures, such as Dr Omobola Johnson, Catherine Bickersteth, Funke Ladimeji, Olubankole Wellington (Banky W), Folawe Omikunle, Ronke Onadeko, Molade Adeniyi, Enimien Inegbedion, Chizoba Atsu, Tobi Ajao, Jide Sipe, Uwadiae Osadiaye, Kelechi Ekugo, Rolake Akinkugbe- Filani and Lukman Adekola, among others.
The event featured a dynamic panel discussion featuring accomplished adults sharing insights on the power of economic literacy.
The audience nodded in agreement as they discussed how understanding economics could be a superpower in itself.
An electrifying moment came when the teenage keynote speaker, Eniabitobi Akeredolu, took the stage, eloquently highlighting the potential impact of “Super E” on understanding economics and inflation.
Then came the show-stealer – a children’s panel of brilliant young minds who took the stage to unravel their understanding of the “inflation smackdown.”
Their perspectives brought a refreshing and insightful twist, proving that economic wisdom knows no age.
As the room simmered with energy, the spotlight shifted to a fireside chat with the author, illustrator, and the lead on the book’s translation to indigenous languages.
Moderated by a representative of Kunda Kids, the discussion provided a behind-the-scenes peek into the creation of “Super E: the Inflation Smackdown.”
The event was not just about discussions; it was also a celebration.
The first batch of books flew off the shelves within two hours, a testament to the eagerness of the audience to get their hands on the adventure-packed guide to economic literacy.
In a generous gesture, a donation was presented to the CEO of Teach for Nigeria (a non-profit organization focused on fighting educational inequity), adding a meaningful touch to the celebration.
