This is not the first history seminar that has taken place here, in Kano, or in which the Bayero University Department of History has participated. Since 1972 there has been series of annual seminars jointly organized by the Departments of History, A.B.U. Zaria, and B.U. Kano, the Centre for Nigerian Cultural Studies, A.B.U.

These previous seminars include the ones on the History of Borno (1972), the Niger-Benue Confluence (1973), the Sokoto Caliphate (1975), the Economic History of West African Savanna (1976), the Cultural History of West Africa (1977) and History of Central Sudan before 1804 (1979). These seminars provided a forum in which important historical issues were discussed by scholars engaged in active research. The papers presented at the seminar on the Sokoto Caliphate have already been published and those on the Economic History are with the publishers.
