Data gathered revealed government to be the highest investor through it statutory budgetary allocations which is however inconsistent, consequently and significantly affecting institutional structure, acquisition and collection development thereby depleting the existence of current and relevant resources required for advancement. The result of the study revealed that for 10 years, 13% of the total allocation (N495,444,282.21) was invested on capital project, overhead had 4% (M84,996,204.00) and 82% (N3,078,963,566.03) for personnel.
