2ND INDUCTION CEREMONY 2011

Introduction

The Librarians’ Registration Council of Nigeria (LRCN), a parastatal under Federal Ministry of Education was established by Decree 12 of 1995 and charged among others, with the responsibility of determining who are Librarians; determining what standards of knowledge and skills to be attained by persons seeking to be registered as Librarians; establish and maintaining a register of persons entitled to practice the profession, and maintaining discipline within the profession.

Consequent upon the powers conferred on the Council and having considered accordingly the several applications before it, the Council has approved the second batch of 1,177 people listed below to practice as Librarians in Nigeria with all the privileges thereof. The general public is hereby notified that the registration of Librarians is a continuous exercise. Henceforth, however, all employers of labour are advised NOT to engage unregistered Librarians to avoid being prosecuted. Similarly, anyone found parading him/herself as a Librarian without LRCN registration risks being arrested and prosecuted accordingly. It is incumbent on anyone with the requisite qualification whose name does not appear in this list to seek to register at once with the LRCN.

Everyone whose name is on this list is required to appear in person for the induction and collection of Certificate of Registration.
