Does any Nigerian authority care about the state of archaeology in Nigeria? Do people <br />realize the crucial importance of this discipline for Nigerian and African history? And how can a <br />university in Nigeria close its Archaeological Department and thus let all Africa down and dash our <br />hopes of discovering more evidence of the Nigerian and African past? When we recall that the <br />constant view expressed by some Westerners, some of whom are considered Nigeria’s friends, that <br />there is lack of evidence of African achievements, then this closure of an Archaeology Department is <br />a shame, if not something worse.<br /><br /><br />Kwame Opoku<br />DR.KWAME OPOKUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10807521316037049823noreply@blogger.com
