In the past three decades, a combination of many maladies has assaulted the educational sectors of African countries . The result is the all too obvious and well-known precipitate drop in the quality of educational resources and of eduation at all levels. The problem, no doubt has political and administrative causes, but the most fundamental cause relates to poverty and the downturn in the economic well-being of these countries since the early 1980s.
AN aspect that has suffered needlessly and to the ghastly hurt of the nations and the quality of their education at all levels is the provision of current learning materials: books, journals , magazines and other types of publications.

Also, generally lacking, even at tertiary institutional levels, are computing facilities and science laboratory equipment and materials to enhance learning and move African educational system forward into the competitive modern century with enhanced possibilities for the promotion of the wellbeing of African peoples. The culture of reading is at an all time low, especially when compared with the decade after independence in many African countries. These problems are more acute at the tertiary and the university levels because a large percentage of the materials used at these levels are not locally produced but must be imported. The best university libraries lack current publications, all holding volumes that are about two decades old. Journals are scarce and study materials reflecting current advances in knowledge are unavailable. Both teaching morale and standards are drastically low.
