The ISSN International Centre has ranked the National ISSN Centre, managed by the National Library of Nigeria fourth amongst the top countries in the world with the highest registration of ISSN between 2024 to 2025.

This was published on the ISSN Portal in Figures 2025 released by the international Centre, with Nigeria scoring +6.43% emerging fourth out of the top six countries in the world.

This feat was attained through the tireless efforts of the National Librarian/CEO, Prof. Chinwe Veronica Anunobi.

It could be recalled that the National Librarian/CEO accompanied by the Head of ISSN division, Mrs Phyllis Ifeoma Jekhine attended the ISSN International Centre 50th Anniversary/Conference, in Paris, France held in October, 2025.

It is also worthy of note that in 2014, Nigeria ISSN Centre was awarded a Certificate of Recognition for commitments, consistent efforts and impressive achievements of the ISSN team within the National Library of Nigeria.

Prof. Anunobi has dedicated the global recognition to staff of the International Standards and Programmes Department (IS&PD) for their dedication and commitment to duty.
