Access to Information in the Attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Federal University Libraries in Nigeria:- Edward Amadi
ABSTRACT
It is common
knowledge that information is power as well as a liberating factor. Information
is the lifeblood for the socio-economic, political, cultural and educational
advancement of any person, society and a nation. It is a sine-qua-non for
whatever level of achievement that is made in life. According to Onah, Urom and
Amanze-Unagha (2015), whatever man (or a nation or group of nations like the
United Nations) is planning to actualize on earth (like the sustainable
development goals-SDGs), without access to relevant, reliable and timely
information, it may be difficult or impossible to accomplish. Information is a
strategic instrument, fundamentally necessary for human existence, growth and
success. Kolawole and Igwe (2016) assert that information has assumed a
prominent position in the affairs of man to the extent that it is now seen as a
factor of production, in addition to land, capital, labour and the
entrepreneur. Information is the accumulation of knowledge by human beings in
all areas of endeavor and useful in solving problems and reducing uncertainties
(Aina, 2013). Information is equally conceived as that phenomenon which adds to
one's awareness or understanding of some topics, issues, problems or events to
which individuals in every society should have easy access in order to play
effective roles in the society and to live meaningfully (Uhegbu, 2014).
