Project: NCDMB e-Library Development

Project-Framing Questions

The NCDMB e-Library Development project concerns the proposed development of a modern library, e-Library, digital repository and associated physical and information infrastructure for the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB).

The project is currently in an early project-definition and scope-development stage. Existing work includes concept development, project registers, preliminary scope information, cost information, assumptions, risks, resource information and schedule development. The current intention is to develop the project sufficiently for management consideration and inclusion in the 2027 budget cycle, after which specialist consultancy and implementation arrangements may be established.

The emerging scope is wider than an online library alone. It may include physical library and archival facilities, ICT and network infrastructure, a library management system and digital repository, digitisation and metadata management, cybersecurity and data protection, collections and content management, training, commissioning and post-launch support.

PHC Service is being introduced initially as governance support to Michael Oluseyi, who is providing project-development consultancy input to NCDMB. PHC does not act as architect, construction contractor, financier or specialist library designer. Its role is to provide a continuously maintained project-health governance structure through which project definition, deliverables, concerns, actions, evidence, decisions and interfaces can be made visible and progressively strengthened.
