It is an unusual gesture because a member of the political class, rather than the government itself, is the one championing the resuscitation of the National Library project. The current state of the Nigerian National Library speaks tremendously to the possibilities and failures of the national development project in Nigeria. So, does it matter who lead the crucial initiative to jumpstart and crystallize the national library project as long as it is done? But then, the redemption comes from the fact that the Nigeria Project, unlike the national library project, is a work in progress. I think this is the most important lesson that Senator Oluremi Tinubu’s gesture towards the National Library project has provided us.
