A world without librarians and a library would be void, unexciting and without consolation of any type, Nigerian Ambassador/Permanent Delegate to UNESCO, Prof. Michael Omolewa has said.

Librarians, he said, are known as information managers whose power can always be enormous. They influence every segment of the society of all ages and various calling, and at all levels of the educational system, and social groups.
According to him, "everyone needs the input of the information manager. It is therefore imperative for the librarian to support all initiatives to build a society of the future that will be fair, just and noble. Where there are vices, it becomes mandatory for the librarian to encourage a change in attitude and orientations. In the specific area of cultural development, the librarians can make an investment in the development of cultural heritage literacy and encourage the development of suitable and appropriate curricula, school libraries and community reading rooms.
