The Librarians' Registration Council of Nigeria (LRCN) was established as a parastatal under the Federal Ministry of Education by Act 12/Decree 12 of 1995 (CAP L.13, LFN 2004) by the Nigerian government. The Council is responsible for providing leadership in the field of librarianship by regulating education for library and information science and its practice in Nigeria. In the formative years of librarianship in Nigeria, all staff within libraries were regarded and addressed as librarians irrespective of their educational backgrounds. The need to have a professional body to define who is a librarian, regulate the affairs of librarians and librarianship in Nigeria led to the "process to establish a regulatory body for the library and information science profession."
