Their importance to the educational development and societal reconstruction along moral, ethics, spiritual, social, economic, political and what have you, is yet to be known, due to the poor understanding of where they can be found and access to them easily obtained, and to know their intellectual content.

Some of the problems inhibiting the proper storage preservation and conservation of these resources were identified and the way forward towards Arabic and Ajami manuscripts management in Nigeria was highlighted.
