Call for govt intervention over deteriorating state of Ekiti State Library Board #Echobox=1712711688" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tribuneonlineng.com/call-for-govt-…

Adewumi Idowu Paul Call for govt intervention over deteriorating state of Ekiti State Library Board Call for govt intervention over deteriorating state of Ekiti State Library Board By Adewunmi Paul I want to raise an alarm over the deteriorating condition of the Ekiti State Library Board. In recent years, the state of the library system in Ekiti State has been in decline, with inadequate funding, outdated facilities, and dwindling resources. My worries reflect the growing frustration among citizens who recognise the pivotal role libraries play in fostering education, culture, and societal development. The Ekiti State Library Board, once a beacon of knowledge and learning, now struggles to fulfill its mandate due to various challenges. Over the years, budgetary constraints have led to neglect, resulting in dilapidated infrastructure, insufficient staffing, and a dearth of updated books and resources. As a result, the once vibrant hub for learning and research has become a shadow of its former self, unable to adequately serve the needs of the community. As a resident of Ekiti State, I recognise the critical role that libraries play in empowering individuals, preserving cultural heritage, and fostering intellectual growth. The current state of the Ekiti State Library Board not only undermines these objectives but also deprives citizens of essential resources for personal and professional advancement. In the light of the pressing issues facing the Ekiti State Library Board, I call upon the government to intervene urgently. The government must prioritise the revitalisation of the library system by allocating sufficient funds, upgrading infrastructure, and enhancing the library’s resources and services. Additionally, I urge the government to engage stakeholders, including educators, librarians, and community members, to develop a comprehensive plan for rejuvenating the library board and restoring its status as a cornerstone of education and culture in Ekiti State. By investing in libraries, the government demonstrates its commitment to education, enlightenment, and the well-being of its citizens. @ekitistategov @biodunaoyebanji @MinofinfoEKSG @MinofyouthEKSG
