The paper is a critique of the 2009 Agreement between the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Federal Government of Nigeria as it affects the academic status and identity of librarians in Nigerian university libraries. The areas identified and discussed in the ASUU/FGN document include Composition of ASUU Re-Negotiation Team, List of Advisers, Responsibility Allowance, Excess Workload Allowance, and Retirement Age of Academics in the Professorial Cadre. The paper observed that the document is an attempt to marginalize and relegate the librarians in Nigerian university libraries as support staff and not as academic staff as the document is prepared to cater for the welfare of lecturers only. Recommendations that will enhance the status of librarians in Nigerian universities are provided.
