	<span style="line-height:1.5;">Education
provides people with basic knowledge, skill and attitude. These would help to
improve the quality of life through increased capabilities, assets and
activities. Every education is relevant in a particular nation/society/community.
This implies that education should be indigenous. Where education does not
impact its environment, the society will be plagued with restiveness, militancy, corruption,
religious cris</span><span style="line-height:1.5;">es, insecurity, unemployment and recession. Nigeria National
policy on education advocates self-reliance.
Self-reliance means one doing things for one¡¯s self rather than depending on having things done for
one. It does not mean that individuals do not need assistance. It simply means
that the assistance required is to ensure that it places one in a position of
better care for one¡¯s self. Self-reliance
makes one have the ability and capacity to maximize one¡¯s effort to earn
sustainable living. Self-reliance makes one to have problem-solving ability. Unnecessary or over
dependence dulls character of an individual and creates social dysfunctions.
Library and information science, a discipline of multi relevance builds the
professionals to be self-reliant, which impacts positively in the society. Hence the
paper proffers how Library and Information Science education stands as panacea
to the restiveness in Nigeria.</span>
