Addressing participants at the opening ceremony, the National Librarian/CEO, Prof. Chinwe Veronica Anunobi reiterated the transformative power of technology, stating that "all information curators, providers and all stakeholders especially those in the global south must key into, or they will atrophy". She noted that journalists must reassess their status in order to remain relevant in the era of technological advancement with the incursion of AI, which has changed and continues to change the process of information packaging and access.
