About TANA Press

Tana Press Ltd. is a publishing company that was established by late Prof. Flora Nwapa Nwakuche in 1977. It was the first publishing company in Africa set up by a woman. It is presently being run by Flora Nwapa’s son, Uzoma Nwakuche.

Tana Press concentrates exclusively in printing, publishing and distributing books written by Flora Nwapa for the purpose of promoting her legacy.

Our latest project is aimed at making her books available and to be included in the secondary school curriculum in Nigeria.

Her latest, posthumously published book, The Lake Goddess is recommended as a text book for senior secondary schools in Nigeria as of 2021.
