Started in 1996, CORA BookTrek has become a favourite haunt for authors and literary enthusiasts to share ideas on books and related matters considered relevant to contemporary experiences. It has in the past featured a coterie of renowned authors and leaders in political, business, and cultural life, including the Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, the veteran journalist, and former governor of Ogun State. Chief Segun Osoba, the oil and gas executive, Austin Avuru, journalist and former Presidential media aide, Femi Adesina, as well as novelists, poets, and dramatists, among others.
