A Milestone for Quality Consciousness in Nigeria: QIIN meets Prof. Chinwe Anunobi

Bridging Innovation and Tradition

In the bustling heart of Nigeria, a revolutionary yet harmonious encounter takes place. Dr. Stephen S. Hati, the President/CEO of the Quality Improvement Institute of Nigeria (QIIN), meets with Prof. Chinwe V. N. Anunobi, the dynamic National Librarian/CEO of the National Library of Nigeria. The date is September 19, 2023, a day marked by the exchange of wisdom and a shared vision for a Nigeria rooted in quality and excellence.

In the distinguished office of the National Librarian, Dr. Hati presents a work that encapsulates this very essence, a beacon guiding the way to a quality conscious Nigeria. Titled “Fundamentals of Quality,” the book serves as a herald, ushering in a paradigm shift aimed at integrating quality consciousness into the daily choices of Nigerians. This is not just a book but a movement, a crescendo of voices calling for the raising of standards and the celebration of quality.

What makes this partnership even more symbolic is the endorsement of the book by the National Library of Nigeria, a revered institution that has played a pivotal role in promoting a reading culture amongst Nigerians. Prof. Anunobi, who has spearheaded remarkable advancements in the library since assuming office in late 2021, remarks on the alignment of the book’s ethos with the vision of the library.

During this visit, Dr. Hati does not miss the opportunity to praise the innovative strides taken by the National Library of Nigeria under the astute leadership of Prof. Anunobi. One such remarkable innovation is the streamlined and digitized process of issuing International Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs) to publishers, both individual and organizational. This service, Dr. Hati remarks, is a beacon of the high-quality process that Nigeria earnestly needs, a reflection of the excellence encouraged by QIIN’s legacy book.

As an embodiment of this praise, it is noteworthy that the very ISBN of “Fundamentals of Quality,” was issued by the National Library of Nigeria, a stamp of approval that carries weight and echoes the sentiments of innovation and excellence the library stands for. In a world where time is of the essence, the library’s swift and efficient ISBN issuing process is a boon to publishers, encouraging them to leverage this remarkable initiative, a testimony to the positive change sweeping through governmental establishments in Nigeria.

The online certification course accompanying the eBook carries the torch forward in fostering a reading culture. It urges readers to delve deep into the book, to absorb its contents before attempting to answer the questions posed, thus earning a certificate that stands as a testament to their understanding and commitment to fostering quality.

But the journey does not end here. In the spirit of accessibility and outreach, there is a notable announcement — the eBook is on track to find its home in the expansive repository of the National Virtual Library of Nigeria. This platform is not just a gateway to a plethora of learning and information resources but a testimony to the ingenuity of the Nigerian spirit, bridging the gap between tradition and modernity, reaching out to every Nigerian with the promise of knowledge at their fingertips.

As readers across Nigeria immerse themselves in the “Fundamentals of Quality,” facilitated by the dynamic visions embodied by Dr. Hati and Prof. Anunobi, we stand on the cusp of a revolution. A revolution beckoning every Nigerian to be a part of a journey, a journey where quality meets consciousness, paving the path for a Nigeria echoing with the resonant notes of progress, innovation, and a spirit unyielded in its pursuit of excellence.
