Abstract:
Business information is imperative for business transaction and prospects. The
provision of business information to business entities cannot be overemphasized,
because when the right information is provided in the right format, to the right
user and made available to the right user at the right time, this could in turn record a
tremendous increase in provision of goods and services to consumers/customers and as
well create increase to the country's economy as well as the global market. Business
information provision is an essential ingredient to all business entities regardless of its
form: sole proprietorship, partnership, company, cooperative etc. The use of ICT to
disseminate information or customers’ use of it to have access to their investments at any
time is of paramount importanance, especially in our present information society
characterized by ICT. The world has become a global village in that one stays at his/her
comfort zone and access information at anytime and anywhere. Government and libraries
have their own role to play in making the people have access to the needed business
information. This would play a dual role by meeting the need of the user environment an
the objectives of the information providers as well.
