The donation was made at the library while Former President Olusegun Obasanjo received the 2022 Winners awards from the Future Africa Leaders’ Award, which was held on New Year’s Eve. He also introduced Noble Laureate Leymah Roberta Gbowee as a special guest.
During a press briefing while presenting the winners of the Future African Leaders Award 2022, the COO of Loveworld Inc., Pastor Ifeoma Chiemeka, revealed that the library serves as a national archive for the preservation of documents and materials as a historical, touristic and academic center.
To enhance transparency and accountability and to ensure Nigerian and other African countries’ policy choices are better understood, the library was established to deepen democracy, engage citizens and seek to enhance transparency.
In keeping with Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s ideology, support for its further development is necessary for it to be helpful in the future.
