According to a constant visitor of the library who pleaded anonymity, the library was closed down due to the ongoing renovation of the hall, which started late last year, however, a visit to the library by our correspondent shows no sign of construction work going on in the said building.
Before now, checks by our correspondent revealed that the indiscriminate parking of vehicles along the road on a daily basis which causes heavy gridlock has turned the premises of the Library into a noisy motor park added to the problem of the library is the leasing of the empty space upstairs to two churches: The Redeemed Christian Church of God and Soteria Bible Church.
While many have advocated for the relocation of the library based on the location analysis, the closure of the library remains a surprise.
