Reflections on the Humanities in Nigeria (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781535337489)

This volume of the Annals of the Academy comprises a selection of the papers presented at sessions of the convocations of the Academy in 2009 and 2010. As usual the Academy at the two convocations focused on issucs that are critical to the development of the state and society in Nigeria in particular; and in Africa in general. The 2009 convocation addressed the theme of Religion and Morality in Nigeria. In 2010 the Academy shifted its attention to assessing Fifty Years of Humanistic studies in Nigeria. As out' president remarked in his address (201 0) we believe in the vital roles of the Humanities in the pursuit of Humanistic values, that "knowledge with forever govern ignorance" and that "people who mean to be their governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives" It is our belief that the papers here presented contribute in great measure to the attainment of these goals.
