THE Federal Government has earmarked N250 million for the National Library of Nigeria (NLN) headquarters project, a multibillion naira edifice that has been abandoned since 2013.
Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu confirmed this development in Abuja when he disclosed that N250, 000, 000 has been proposed in the 2021 budget for the project.
His words: “On the National Library project, we are exploring all options, including the annual appropriation and the service-wide vote as well as private sector participation to complete the project. A total of N250, 000, 000 has been proposed in the 2021 budget for the purpose.”
Some stakeholders, however, have described this amount as a drop in the ocean, considering the work to be done to ensure completion of the project before the end of this administration.
