The E-Book Library Nigeria

Our Continent, Our Brains.

Our Company name is E-Book Library Nigeria (Div of Starlat Investment Nigeria Limited).

Our mission is to establish E-Book Library in every school in Africa and to foster literacy, leadership, and global community. We want to use the technology at our disposal to deliver quality education to all students irrespective of their social status and to allow African students to “connect and collaborate” with students in Asia, Europe, US, UK and Australia in order to build a network of connections for the next generation of Nigerian leaders.

As an international published author, I envision a continent connected by common educational understanding through reading by any means possible. I approached my US publisher for a platform that will assist African students to gain access to countless quality educational materials at the cheapest price in the world. We came up with a technology that allows students to read textbooks in an online library.

It’s a delight that we now offers Schools in Lagos (for a start) online access to numerous books for students and teachers.

Our service provides Nigerian students with the same digital reading and educational materials used by International Baccalaureate schools and students around the world. Using standard tablet and computer functions, we provide global student-to-student connections where Nigerian students can interact with like-minded students from Asia, USA, UK, Europe, and from around the world. Usage of our service provides source of revenue for schools, derived from the token they charge each student to access the school e-library produce by us. In all, Schools without an I.C.T department can use our system to build a content infrastructure which can be leveraged to grow their ICT department.

Our immediate goal is to expand our service in Lagos at a steady pace in coming months. We aim to be the first and major academic contents provider in Nigeria/Africa in years to come. The academic market is vast and unpredictable; we hope to be in business for as long as education remains vital for human survival.

For the community we operate in, we bring along job opportunity in the marketing section for indigenes. We also assist schools in the area to develop through the revenue they make from the service we provide. And we always collaborate with the local government to foster the message of ICT in schools.

Our participation in TEF has been awesome. We are glad to be selected among many on the continent. Our selection on the programme marks the beginning of the realization of this vital educational project.

Schools Are Our Place of Knowledge

We have come to the inescapable conclusion that Schools have a lot of work to do in Nigeria in order to get our young ones back on track. We have said it many times that nations of the world are in constant competition, and if we do not realize this, then the joke is on us. We cannot continue to have an entire generation of youths that do not believe in themselves, cannot stand shoulder to shoulder with colleagues around the world, children that do not have access to quality educational materials because of low social status, and then we expect to build a nation that can cater for all Nigerians on a sustainable basis.

It has never worked for today's great nations, and it will not work for us in Nigeria if we don’t start to adequately empower our children with latest global trend that will enhance their academics and social life style. Concerned Schools that are committed to ICT development must take calculative risk in moderately investing in technology that is relevant for building solid future leaders country.

This platform created by Starlat investment Nigeria is a progressive place of knowledge in Nigeria of which many schools are now embracing for better days ahead.
