The
United States embassy in Nigeria, on Wednesday, offered to equip the library of
the Nigeria’s National Assembly.
This
was disclosed by the political affairs officer, Robert Kerr, during a
discussion with legislative aides at the U.S. Embassy in Abuja.
The
session was organized by the US Embassy and Youth Initiative for Advocacy
Growth and Advancement, YIAGA, as part of Young Legislators Accountability
Project, YIAPNG. It was organized for aides of young Nigerian legislators who
are not more than 40 years of age.
Mr.
Kerr pledged America’s readiness to equip the National Assembly library,
following complaints by the legislative aide that the library is “moribund”,
“not well equipped” and “not adequate for research”.
They
expressed disappointment that they had to depend of external libraries to carry
out their duties for their principals.
“The
Embassy will be interested in equipping the library with devices and books,”
Mr. Kerr noted.
