The Lagos State Government on Sunday said that it has concluded plans to upgrade 21 secondary school libraries across all the six educational districts in the State, just as it announced the commencement of the State Digital Library project. Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Mr. Obafela Bank-Olemoh who disclosed this in a statement, said that the libraries would be upgraded this year.
According to him, the State Government’s Private-Public-Partnership initiative tagged Adopt-A-Library was geared towards transforming the State public libraries into modern, ICT-enhanced knowledge centres.
He said the Ipaja Public Library has been upgraded while the Ilupeju Public Library was recently upgraded by Custodian & Allied as well as the Herbert Macaulay Library, Yaba, currently under renovation by Guaranty Trust Bank.
