Description
This set of addresses is published under the auspices of the presidential panel on Nigeria sinceindependence history; Project to give specialist scholars and general readers some useful insight into the wide-ranging aspects of a task of considerable national significance. Other pubheations, under the same auspices, have been planned for execution in the next few years. Indeed, the manuscript for an annotated bibliography is ready and should have been in print but for lack of funds. The background and main objectives of the project entrusted to the fourteen-man panel are as set out in the keynote address by its chairman, and the special address by Alhaji Shehu Shagari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, at the formal opening of the National Conference convened in Zaria on 28 March, 1983. The panel has decided to publish in full the proceedings of that most stimulating conference as soon as funds permit. In several respects, this first volume, in the planned series, does whet the appetite for more.
