Short Communication: Opportunities and challenges for Nigerian Libraries in national environmental protection initiative

Abstract

Nigeria's environment is today being degraded with refuse and other pollutants at an alarming rate. Efforts by successive governments to combat this menace have proved abortive. This paper thus discusses the role that Nigerian libraries can play in environmental protection efforts, just as it is being done by libraries in other countries of the world. The paper concludes that for environmental problems to be successfully managed in
Nigeria, the support of libraries is very crucial.
