In my opinion, the National Virtual Library Initiative would have been handed over to the National Library of Nigeria from inception since they are the body mandated to serve as a national depository for all publications emanating from Nigerians within and outside the country. A policy would have been enacted for publishers to deposit a soft copy as well as a hard copy of their works so as to facilitate the easy take off of the virtual library initiative. Lack of political will on the part of government to put basic infrastructure in place is one of the greatest challenges inhibiting the National Virtual Library initiative, erratic power supply, ICT infrastructures and lack of continuity of government policies from one administration to the other.
The paper was well researched and the writer was able to touch on all topical issues.
