Joined by the Minister of State for Education, Professor Suwaiba Sa’id Ahmad, Alausa praised the First Lady’s action as a reflection of her long-standing dedication to education and national development.
“The First Lady has again shown that she is not only a champion of compassion but also a firm believer in the power of knowledge,” Alausa said.
“Her decision to support the National Library Fund sets a national example and resonates deeply with our mission to transform Nigeria into a knowledge-based economy.”

The revival of the National Library Fund is a core component of the Federal Government’s education reform agenda, aligning with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision of placing education at the center of national progress.
Dr. Alausa reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to providing improved learning environments and called on Nigerians from all sectors; public, private, and civil society to support the initiative.
“The National Library is not just a building; it is a foundation for lifelong learning, innovation, and national renewal,” he added.
The ministers urged citizens to rally behind this cause to help secure a brighter, more educated future for the country.
