Mbarika, while handing over the facility to the university Chief Librarian in Kaduna, said the e-library would enable the university lecturers to upload all their courses and teaching materials online.According to him, this will enable students access the courses online from other parts of the world and also access other books and journals for free that would have cost them huge amount of money.
“Many university leaders in Nigeria and Africa do not care about technology. They prefer to remain in the dark ages of teaching and learning, but KASU vice chancellor and the chief librarian belong to the digital age. They have made several efforts in terms of deploying technology for teaching and learning, we want to support them to succeed in this regard.”
