INTRODUCTION
Information sharing is sine qua non for the literacy of a particular group of people
(Uhegbu, 2007). Economists have agreed that literacy of a nation is not only an indicator of
economic development, but also a prediction of a nationwide progress that cuts across
human capital development, social well-being of the people, environmental sustainability,
health, safety, and entrepreneurial success (Sen, 1983; O’Sullivan and Sheffrin, 2003). Since
literacy of a nation is dependent on the kind of information shared among them,
developmental success – economically, politically, socially, culturally and vice versa - is
therefore rooted on quality information provision. As in today’s knowledge society where
scholarly information drives economic growth and development (International Institute for
Educational Planning, 2007), the higher tertiary education system, the topmost branch of
academic institutions (Encyclopaedia Britannica Online [http://search.eb.com/eb/article-
9061377]), has been commended as the main source of quality information needed for
economic growth and development (http://www.iiep.unesco.org/fileadmin/user_upload/
pdf/jane07.pdf). That is to say, universities, polytechnics, monotechnics, colleges of
education and other academic-oriented research institutions are producers, disseminators
and the enablers of the absorption of knowledge by any society. To this note, this research
is aimed at showing how the above listed institutional categories in Africa, as generators of
information for all-round human development, can contribute to the attainment of
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Africa.
