Building Academic Libraries in the Niger Delta of Nigeria

Furthermore, it is essential to create an independent knowledge place with systematic and structural support from the European education community. As a direct consequence the ‘NDKC’ concept was conceived.

No doubt, NDKC is a sustainable and hard-wearing project in education. A project that has found support from well-meaning government universities and establishments in The Netherlands. It accommodates’ a major Academic Library which, promotes reading and lifelong learning, a Heritage Centre for the collection and archiving of historical information, and a Conference Center for socio-economic symposia and other informative activities.

The project is expected to enable the connection and expansion of our network of students, tutors, researchers and institutions through our international community programme, and in the final exploration supply the necessary support to the native youths that will help them make concrete changes to their lives and environments.

NDKC services are available to students, tutors, researchers and visitors, but will give special support and scholarship opportunities to those who come from families that traditionally have not had the resources to pursue an advanced education.
