This paper offered a critical assessment of how well librarians in Nigerian Colleges of Education handle virtual services. In an era where digital resources are becoming increasingly vital in higher education, Nigerian Colleges of Education librarians are facing numerous challenges. These issues greatly limit their ability to provide effective virtual services. The paper indicated that librarians’ digital skills, at are best, only what they can do. Additionally, the skills gap is worsened by ongoing infrastructural problems. This includes things like unreliable electricity, insufficient internet speed, lack of adequate computer resources, and limited financial backing. There is also notable lack of focus on digital libraries. Because of this, virtual service delivery suffers. The paper contended that improving librarians’ skills is absolutely essential for both educational equality and meeting Nigeria’s digital transformation goals. It suggested urgent actions, such as incorporating Information and Communication (ICT) and Virtual library management into library school programmes. It also recommended government investment in digital infrastructure and create national standards for librarians. If these suggestions are followed, Colleges of Education libraries could become key players in 21st -century teacher education.
