“Imagine.. you are a university student living in a region with broken educational infrastructures and empty libraries. More so, campuses are infested with oil-drilling & gas-flaring activities, but you are still eager to improve your life chances and your community well-being. Unfortunately, there are no academic readers.”

This is the reality in the Niger Delta. Over six decades of oil and gas exploitation has completely destroyed the land and waterways in the region. As such the International College of Commerce, with the support of the libraries of Maastricht University, VU Amsterdam and Wageningen UR, has initiated the Niger Delta Knowledge Centre.
