Africa Independent Television, AIT’s Abulu Osemuaghu has bagged the Nigerian Library Association Best Journalist of the Year award, in the television category.
Speaking during the ceremony, President of the Nigerian Library Association, Dominic Omokaro, challenged the Federal, State, and local government councils to make frantic efforts to revive the Library system.
The Oxford English language dictionary describes the library as a building or room containing collections of books, periodicals, and sometimes films and recorded music for use or borrowing by the public or members of an institution.
This definition of the library has been relegated due to the emergence of the internet and search engines like Google and ChatGPT.
For the Nigerian Library Association, the library remains an agent of change in contemporary Nigeria and the university of the poor, which must be preserved.
In recognition of efforts of non-librarians to promote the growth and sustenance of the library, the Nigerian Library Association has honored Africa Independent Television AIT’s senior correspondent, Abulu Osemuaghu, as the best journalist of the year, television category.
The association also honored four persons with fellowships and six others with library association brand ambassadors.
