ISSN Nigeria is communicating around the use of International Standard Numbers

The National Library of Nigeria (NLN) is responsible for the issuance of all International Standard Numbers. It  has the responsibility of sensitising and advising authors, printers and publishers on the importance and the professional use of these numbers. The Nigerian National Serial Data Centre (NNCDC) was set up at the National Library of Nigeria in 1976, and became the Nigerian ISSN Centre. It is responsible for the registration of all serial titles published in Nigeria and for assigning them with ISSN. The National Library of Nigeria is the only agency mandated to issue ISBN and ISSN. Therefore, authors and publishers are advised to avoid the use of fake of ISBN/ISSN visiting any branch of the National Library of Nigeria or its website.
