African libraries,
especially public libraries in Nigeria are still in crude form. Governments and
communities don't even seem to have a place for libraries in their policy
planning and implementation. The library sector is rarely considered in public
discourse. This must change. We must take it upon ourselves to drive change in
this critical sector of human society. That Nigeria with over 170million people
has less than 1000 public libraries is no more a comfortable story to tell.
Libraries must fill up the streets of Nigerian towns and villages. It is
possible! And we must couple with advocacy library activism.
