E.; Akangbe, C. A.Ojeniyi (2002) has observed that Nigeria has the largest commercial publishing in Africa, which has been corroborated by Ike (2004) when he describes Nigerian book publishing industry as vibrant, with perhaps, the largest publishing companies in Africa. There are over 1000 book publishing firms in Nigeria (both registered and unregistered), which further places Nigeria at a comfortable leading position in Africa. Despite its robust publishing industry, none of the numerous publishing companies in Nigeria specialise in the publication of educational materials for the physically challenged. This could be as a result of the fact that Nigerian publishers are faced with challenges bordering on trained personnel, access to capital and availability of market for the published learning materialsfor the physically challenged. Thefact that publishing in Nigeria is profit-driven necessitates that considerations are needed in the decision to publish for the all-inclusive education. This study therefore aims at assessing trainedpersonnel, access to capital and availability of market as factors affecting the publication of learning materials for students with special needs in Nigeria in order to recommend ways to overcome the inherent challenges for the actualisation of the dream of all-inclusive education in Nigeria.Item Publishers, curriculum developers and educational stakeholders in textbook development for building a virile educational foundation in Nigeria(Scholarship Books, A division of Scholarship Publishing and Educational Consult Services (Nig.) Ltd., Ibadan, 2011-06) Igudia, O. E.; Akangbe, C. A.The book is a medium of mass communication which influences effective utilisation of other media. It is a literary work, printed or written, which propels and enhances national development. The role of books in literary, educational, political and social development of any nation cannot be over emphasised in the sense that the degree of national development is determined by level of literacy which is aided by book publication. Book is a primary means of inculcating and transmitting knowledge. No educational development succeeds without effective utilisation of the book, since the book is the printed material or electronic material used in preserving knowledge for onward transmission. In the light of the above, it becomes imperative for both publishers and educational administrators to increase commitment in the development and selection of books meant for use in schools at all stages of education in order to properly realise the national education philosophy. This paper therefore assesses the efforts made by Nigerian government to actualise the country's education philosophy, the role of publishers as well as the methods of selecting books for adoption in schools.
