The Dictionary Project is designed to assist Secondary School students to own and use a dictionary, the vocabulary reference manual of English language - the official, regular and business communication medium in Nigeria. A dictionary will help children leave school as good writers, active readers and creative thinkers. The dictionary is for each child to keep, so they can take it with them and use it throughout their school career. We plan to distribute 5,000 dictionaries in four secondary schools.
