Literacy Library for Adult Learners in Nigeria...


History was made this day (26th September, 2011) as I was privileged to establish Literacy Library for Adult Learners in Bende Local government of Abia State during my NYSC experience in Abia State. This Library is first of its kind in Nigeria and I have it in mind to get it established in all 774 Local governments in Nigeria with the help of God and the supports of mankind.

Adult Education is a special education. It is quite different from education for children and adolescents which is geared towards preparing the young ones for future aspirations. Adult education tends to solve situational/immediate needs of the learners.
Based on the peculiarity of adult education, I saw it as necessity to establish a special library for them for further studies and research after the classroom activities. The initiative began in February this year during my interaction with adult learners in one of the adult literacy centres of the Agency for Mass Literacy Adult and Non-formal Education in Abia State Nigeria where I Voluntarily offered my services as Facilitator.

Literacy Library has come to stay in Nigeria...To God be the glory
