So I got this assignment from my sister who is studying Library and information sciences.
The topic is "is National Libraries under the control of Ministry of Education or Ministry of information? And State your reasons"
So I know quite too well that the National Library of Nigeria is under the control and supervision of ministry of education but the help I need from you guys is to help give me solid reasons why the National Library of Nigeria should be placed under the ministry of education and not ministry of Information.
Please guys your ideas would be so appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I hope this helps :

Advanced definitions of library (Islam, 2004-fm adio gboyega) however are as follows:
(i) As a learned institution equipped with treasures of knowledge maintained, organized, and managed by trained personnel to educate the children, men and women continuously and assist in their self-improvement through an effective and prompt dissemination of information embodied in the resources.
(ii) As an enabling factor to obtain spiritual, inspirational, and recreational activities through reading, and therefore the opportunity of interacting with the society’s wealth and accumulated knowledge.
(iii) An instrument of self education, a means of knowledge and factual information, a centre of intellectual recreation, and a beacon of enlightenment that provides accumulated preserved knowledge of civilization which consequently enriches one’s mental vision, and dignifies his habit behaviour, character, taste, attitude, conduct, and outlook on life.
(iv) As a place in which literary and artistic materials, such as books, periodicals newspapers, pamphlets, prints, records, and tapes, are kept for reading, reference, or lending. In a digital sense, a library may be more than a building that houses a collection of books and other materials as the Internet has opened up an avalanche of online and electronic resources for accessing documents on various fields of interest.
(v) As a collection of texts, images, etc, encoded so as to be stored, retrieved, and read by computer.

Libraries have been identified as one of the key elements for open access to information, which is crucial to educational development. Public and institutional collections and services may be intended for use by people who choose not to — or cannot afford to — purchase an extensive collection themselves, who need material no individual can reasonably be expected to have, or who require professional assistance with their research. In addition to providing materials, libraries also provide the services of librarians who are experts at finding and organizing information and at interpreting information needs. Libraries often provide a place of silence for studying.
