Interior Minister Rauf Aregbesola has said most Nigeria youths have never been to a library.

Aregbesola spoke after inaugurating a library complex built at the Akure Muslim College by children of the first indigenous Chief Imam of the Ondo State capital, the late AbdulSalaam Alake.

The former Osun State governor decried the attitude of the younger generation for not making judicious use of the library to enhance knowledge.

He said modern Education system was practically impossible without the library.

During the launching of a book, titled: Imam AbdulSalaam Alake: His Life and Legacies, Aregbesola noted that the soul of Education in any part of the world is a functioning library.
