A Nigerian bank is to set up libraries in public secondary schools in all 36 of the country’s states.

Bank PHB, Nigeria’s eighth largest financial institution, has built and equipped libraries at 13 schools in nine states as part of its National Scholars Scheme since 2004.

Angela Ege, head of corporate social responsibility, said PHB now wants to extend its flagship programme to the entire country, and has approached education authorities in 24 more states where libraries are needed.
