You have a role to play as a body to enhance an improved reading culture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe library affords the chance for one to link up to the world. If we develop the right system, we can increase interest in reading,\u201d the minister added.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to the Mathematical Centre officials, Opiah said that since everything about life revolved around mathematics, the agency should create more awareness of its programs and engage in extensive crusades to attract attention.<\/p>\n<p>He also asked the centre to invest in programs that will lure more international bodies to its activities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
