The federal government and other relevant agencies have been urged to encourage establishment of more public libraries, especially in local government areas, revive reading culture among Nigerians.

Delivering the 132th inaugural lecture of the University of Ilorin Saturday, a professor of the department of Library and Information Science, Lenrie Olatokunbo Aina, said proper management of the library science remains critical for quality education in any developing country.

He said:  Universities are to concentrate on other performance indicators that will enhance their rankings, such as availability of standards libraries, rather than concentrating on bibliometric ranking.

 Schools in Africa are strongly encouraged to incorporate agricultural information modules in their curricula. This will adequately prepare librarians to serve agricultural stakeholders better and more effectively.
