The Benedict Amaechi Ugorji Free Public Library is a nonprofit organization based in Irete, Imo State, Nigeria, dedicated to promoting literacy and lifelong learning. Inspired by the enduring passion my late father, Mr. Benedict Amaechi Ugorji, popularly known as B.A. London, had for education. The library is a tribute to his legacy, his initials, B.A., which coincidentally align with the academic degree Bachelor of Arts, became a cherished reference to his self-declared “degree from London.” To honor his love for knowledge and to provide greater access to educational resources for children and students, I built this state-of-the-art free public library.
The library aims to foster curiosity, promote literacy, and inspire learning, contributing to the development of well-rounded individuals and a stronger, more educated community that we can all be proud of.
