“…Public libraries in Nigeria often struggle with low awareness and patronage (Eyiolorunshe & Eluwole, 2017). Some communities may not fully understand the value and benefits of libraries or may perceive them as outdated institutions.…”

Public libraries have been able to impact people’s lives directly and positively by providing information to everyone in the community, thereby driving community and societal change. The libraries have also continued to increase their chances of delivering access to information to attain Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in advanced countries. The paper focuses on efforts developed by public libraries in developing countries, especially Nigeria, to attain the vision for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (SDGV 2030). This includes the provision of entrepreneurship empowerment services for women in various vocational skills such as netting and soup making to alleviate poverty and the provision of computer-based services for both adults and children for them to be able to have literacy skills that will inform their access to effective information. Through outreach services, public libraries will be able to create awareness of the benefit of education, especially in Northern Nigeria, where girl child education is usually discouraged. Government policy, funding, and lack of professional staff were challenges limiting public libraries from contributing more to attaining the SDGs. Hence, the study recommended that the government of Nigeria should include public libraries in their strategic plan as well as improve funding so that they can contribute more to the attainment of SDGV 2030 in the area of advocating for justice and creating awareness of climate change. The study concluded that the revitalisation of public libraries will increase the chances of Nigeria attaining the SDGs agenda by the end of 2030.

“…Availability of information that is relevant to needs, encourages users to access the information needed. The number of users of information has an effect on the demand for the availability of information that is appropriate and useful for users (Eyiolorunshe & Eluwole, 2017;Polat, 2005). There is a relationship between the accessibility of information and the ease of understanding the information due to the awareness of the users towards the available information.…”

The aims of this study is to analyze the effect of transparency on the participation of parents in education. The unit of research analysis is the school committee management, totaling 2867 people. With Slovin's formula, 348 samples were selected randomly. Through the use of the causal expost facto method, data was collected using a questionnaire in the form of an attitude scale as outlined in the google form and manual questionnaire. Analyzed with descriptive statistical techniques and parametric inferential statistics, which was preceded by a normality test using the Lilifors technique. Regression significance test and regression linearity test were performed and analyzed using path analysis techniques. The results of the statistical test concluded that there is no direct effect of the availability of school management information on the participation of parents in the provision of education; there is no direct effect of the accuracy of the school management information media on the participation of parents in the administration of education, accessibility of school management information on the participation of parents in the provision of education.

Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a significant role in the educational sector, offering lecturers and students innovative ways of teaching and learning, assessment, acquiring skills, communicating, sharing, creating, grading and interacting with learning materials. Unfortunately, Nigerian universities are yet to fully explore AI in their educational activities, which may be due to inadequate awareness, lecturers' attitudes, lack of self-efficacy, opposition to change, and lack of adequate preparedness to utilise AI. Hence, this study assessed lecturers' awareness of artificial intelligence for education in a Nigerian university. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. A sample of 271 lecturers was selected using a proportionate stratified random sampling technique. The study was guided by two research questions and a corresponding research hypothesis. A researcher-designed structured questionnaire was used for data collection, which four experts validated. The questionnaire was pilot-tested, and the data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using the Cronbach alpha correlation formula, and a reliability coefficient of 0.87 was obtained. Descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. The findings of the study revealed that lecturers are aware of AI, with a grand mean of 2.57. Independent samples t-test analysis showed that t = 1.047, p > 0.05, indicating no significant difference in the mean response of male and female university lecturers' level of awareness of artificial intelligence for education. In light of the findings, it was recommended that conferences, seminars and workshops should be organised for lectures to increase their level of awareness of the numerous opportunities that AI can provide in augmenting their educational activities, enabling an environment with adequate facilities that will enable lecturers to acquire adequate knowledge on the use of AI should be provided by education stakeholders.
