Abstract:
Although the archives of Nigeria have been utilized extensively, especially for historical studies, descriptive or introductory notes on them scarcely exist. With the following paper, based on a recent visit to the National Archives in Kaduna in October 1990, 1 want to contribute in filling this gap. The Nigerian Record Office (now National Archives of Nigeria) was established in 1954 on the recommendation and with the efforts of K. O. Dike, who had toured Nigeria and inspected the state of existing archives. Subsequently he became Government Supervisor of Public Records. Initially the archive was situated at the University of Ibadan, until in 1958 the first permanent block was erected.The National Archives in Kaduna is one of the three National Archives in Nigeria, the other two being in Ibadan and Enugu. There is some division of competence between the three archives: Enugu is responsible for the southern parts of Nigeria, Ibadan for the western parts, and Kaduna for the states of Northern Nigeria. The present or former names of regions on which documents are to be found in Kaduna are as follows: Adamawa, Bassa, Bauchi, Benue, Borgu, Borno, Central Province, Gongola, Ilorin, Kabba, Kano, Katsina, Kontagora, Lokoja, Munshi, Muri, Nassarawa, Niger, Nupe, Plateau, Sokoto, Yola, and Zaria. In this listing there are of course regional overlappings; for in the course of history provinces have either been carved out or amalgamated into larger units. In some cases, moreover, more or less identical regions are itemized under different names.

Abstract:
The National Archives of Nigeria as a custodian of the nation's cultural heritage needs adequate management strategies to mitigate the effects of disasters. This study investigates response and recovery strategies deployed towards disaster management at the National Archives of Nigeria, Ibadan. The study is survey-based, using a qualitative method of data collection to provide answers to two research questions. Convenience sampling method was used to select a sample size of twentyone respondents from a total of thirty personnel at the National Archives of Nigeria, Ibadan. Face-toface semi-structured interviews were employed for data collection. All interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analysed using NVIVO version 12. Findings revealed that there were no disaster response teams to tackle the occurrence of disasters and that collaboration with other safety agencies was minimal. The study recommends that the Federal Government of Nigeria should show greater commitment to preserving the cultural heritage of the nation by implementing revitalisation of projects that will enable it to achieve its purpose and transform the National Archives of Nigeria, Ibadan to world standard.

Abstract:
Between 1914 and 1938 the Colonial Office in London sent out three circular letters on the care and preservation of the records of the various administrations in the colonies. In some colonies these circular letters eventually resulted in the establishment of archival institutions by the Colonial administration. In Nigeria, however, the establishment of national archives came about as a result of the activities of the late Professor KO. Dike who, when he was preparing the thesis for a PhD, had to undertake field work in Nigeria. At this time he was shocked at the deplorable condition in which he found the non-current official records of the government. On his return to Nigeria he offered his services free of charge to rescue these records. He was commissioned in 1951 by the Nigerian government to undertake a survey of all government records in the country.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the incidence of disaster and how it affects access to records of the National Archives of South East, Nigeria. However, the specific objectives are to: identify the types of disasters that occur in the archives of South East, Nigeria; ascertain the frequency with which the disasters occur in the archives; determine the relationship between disaster and access to records of the archives; find out the disaster prevention measures adopted by the archives; find out the disaster response and recovery plans available in the archives; and make recommendations for effective disaster prevention and control measures for the archives. Design/methodology/approach The research design adopted for this study is the survey method. Individuals constituted the respondents of the study. This design assisted in gathering accurate data of the given issues and also guided in discussing the findings of the study. The researcher adopted one technique in data collection. Questionnaire was used for primary data collection. Questionnaire was used to collect data from the staff of the National Archives. Findings The findings show that the most prevalent disaster experienced in the archives is power failure. There are occurrences of other man-made disasters in the archives such as stealing, vandalism, fire outbreak and water leakages. The only natural disaster they acknowledged that occurs in the archives is lightening strike. The effect of this disaster was found to be enormous as attested to by 90.9 and 75 per cent respondents in Enugu and Owerri, respectively. The respondents do not agree that natural phenomena such as earthquake/tsunami, volcanic eruption and landslides do constitute threat to records of the archives. Originality/value The events of disaster, in whatever shape or frequency, impede access to records of the National Archives of South East, Nigeria. Most of the disasters that affect the archives are man-made, but with the recent happenings around the globe – the global climate change – it becomes imperative to focus attention on eventual occurrence of natural disasters in the archives. In prevention, response and recovery plans, it is important that consideration is given to all areas likely to be affected by the disaster.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to examine the current state, prospects and challenges in digitizing archival collections at the National Archives of Nigeria. The research adopted a qualitative research method. The case study research strategy was considered appropriate for the study. Data was gathered through observation and interviews. Interviews were conducted with six professionals, mostly heads of departments, out of the 40 archival staff at the Department of National Archives, Ibadan. The study revealed that even though the institution claimed to have embarked on a digitization programme in 2003 and reports have been published about an ongoing digitization project, most of the collections are currently not being digitized. Respondents admitted that digitization would be highly beneficial to the institution, but issues such as lack of funding, lack of digitization policy and lack of trained personnel are the major challenges facing the digitization project. The research deals with the contextual and local nature of digitization and brings to the fore the importance of digitizing the collections of the National Archives of Nigeria. The findings and recommendations of this study should be useful to policy makers and all stakeholders including the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Abstract:
The archives for Northern Nigeria, including not only the area north of the Niger and Benue rivers but also present-day Kwara, Kogi, and Benue states, is located at 29 Yakubu Gowon Way, Kaduna, in the heart of the busy central commercial and administrative district of the town. The Kaduna branch of the Nigerian National Archives has a large, comprehensive and unique collection of official papers of the British colonial and Nigerian independence periods; papers of native and local authorities; and newspapers, magazines, and other publications, as well as Arabic manuscripts. The archives is open on weekdays only. From Monday to Thursday its hours are 8:30 to 2:30, while on Friday there is a shortened day: 8:30 to 12:30.No documents will be produced from the repository within one hour before closing time. In 1991 240 visitors made some 800 visits to the Kaduna archives. On each visit, the visitors' book must be signed; signing out at the end of the day is also obligatory. Use of the archives requires the purchase of a searcher's registration card costing 10 naira ($1.00 or 50 pence) for students, 25 naira for others. The card is valid for the other National Archives branches at Ibadan and Enugu and lasts for that calendar year. Renewals are carried out in subsequent years. Photocopying facilities are available, give excellent reproduction, and are cheap—50 kobo (5c/3p) per exposure for students, one naira for other researchers.

Abstract:
The National Archives of Nigeria is located at three sites: Ibadan, Enugu, and Kaduna. Each site houses the archives for its geographical area: Ibadan for the Western Region (the present-day states of Bendel, Kwara, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, and Oyo); Enugu for the Eastern Region; and Kaduna for the Northern Region. This paper will concentrate on the largest archives, that at Ibadan, which is housed in a large three-story pastel-colored building set in three acres of grounds within the campus area of the University of Ibadan.The Nigerian National Archives branch at Ibadan is very rich in official papers of all Federal, Regional, and State Governments; papers of native and local authorities; papers of semi-public bodies and institutions; papers of private individuals and families, as well as those of ecclesiastical bodies and missions.The founding and development of the Nigerian Archival Service was due very largely to the initiative of Kenneth Dike, who was awarded a Colonial Social Science Research Fellowship in 1949 to carry out research on Nigerian history. In the course of his studies Dike came across valuable historical records in government offices, the greater number of which were exposed to decay and destruction and some of which were damaged by insects and water. He reported this to the government and offered his services without salary in the task of recovering valuable historical materials.

Abstract:
Nigeria in no doubt needs to be saved from her present predicaments. This work therefore has arisen from the present state of our dear nation Nigeria. The paper is a clarion call to Nigerian Christians for the rescue of our nation, using Nehemiah example. It is imperative to say Nigeria needs a rebirth at this critical time because of the vices that have penetrated every nook and cranny of the nation. It has been noted lately that the values, principles, love and unity that bind the country together have been eroded. This therefore necessitated the introduction of Nehemiah ideas in response to the state of his nation as a clarion call to Nigerian Christians both home and abroad to rescue Nigeria from her present predicaments. Nehemiah was a man who accepted responsibility on behalf of others. This paper adopted a systematic and scrupulous referenced study of primary materials such as archives, newspaper, government and non-governmental report and consultation of relevant books. The paper revealed that, Christians must be patriot just like Nehemiah who was concerned with the state of his nation. Christians should also emulate his efforts in rebuilding his nation despite the stiff oppositions he faced. In the same vein, Christians in Nigeria should arise and condemn social evils which permeate our contemporary Nigeria.

Abstract:
Developments in information and communication technologies have shifted the management of archival materials from paper to digital. This digital environment has created expectations and possibilities in access to and preservation of archival materials and records. Several legal initiatives have been proposed to address the emerging roles of archival materials and archival institutions. From a copyright law perspective, statutory copyright exceptions tend to be the go-to approach for addressing the copyright issues facing archival and other memory institutions. In this environment, there are conversations around the roles of archival and other memory institutions and how the copyright law construct could design limitations and exceptions enabling those institutions to carry out their roles. Within these conversations, there remains a general adherence to the classic landmark (i.e., guiding light) of these institutions’ role being to preserve, safeguard and provide access to materials as needed. This chapter argues that from the standpoint of implementing any agenda of mass digitization before or alongside the repatriation of cultural heritage materials, this landmark of preservation and access should be challenged. This chapter proposes a complementary landmark to guide policymakers in navigating the copyright limitations and exceptions landscape for archival and other memory institutions. Agency, along with restitution and the general practice of decolonization, becomes a more appropriate landmark in this chapter’s description of how at institutional level, national archival institutions and other memory institutions might want to proceed in undertaking their planning for repatriating, receiving and managing repatriated items. Furthermore, incorporating agency as a complementary landmark would ready these institutions for the forthcoming transition to specific copyright limitations and exceptions.

Abstract:
Gender issues are top of the agenda for international conventions and policy frameworks for governments and action plans for many community-based organizations. However, despite the efforts, as reported by multiple studies, Nigeria has recorded infinitesimal success in the gender struggle. While the issue of gender finds exalted position on policy frameworks, implementation of gender policies especially at the grassroots and the national level is close to non-existent as gender imbalance holds sway in subcultures in Nigeria. To this end, the study is a theologico-cultural exploration of the Efik pantheon with the objective of identifying elements of gender diversity and harmony that can be incorporated in the reconstruction of gender relation in Nigerian subcultures where absolute patriarchy is undermining diversity. With dependence on descriptive method and primary data, Efik myths and archival sources, the study sums that the Efik pantheon is beautified by gender diversity and harmony and that this harmony translates to a better gender relation in Efikland and can be replicated in Nigeria.

Abstract:
This study aims at examining and mapping the spatiotemporal distribution of meningitis epidemic, in relation to climate variability, using GIS and Remote Sensing techniques. Using the northern part of Nigeria as a case study, data on meningitis epidemic were obtained from the archive of National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria for the periods between 1998 and 2013. The data were updated with collection from Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). Also, Nigerian Ministry of Health has compiled consistent statistics on meningitis incidence for the periods. A meningitis distribution map was derived from an environmentally-driven form of predicted probability of epidemic experience as it is in International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) Database. The results showed that Meningitis Epidemic is very high during months with low rainfall. Thus, seasonality of rainfall and temperature are important determinants of Meningitis Epidemic incidence in the Northern part of Nigeria. Therefore, it can be confirmed, as cited in some literatures, that the distribution of the epidemics has a strong association with the environment, especially climate variability. Although meningitis surveillance systems in Nigeria have improved, they still fall short of the sensitivity required to demonstrate incidence changes in vaccinated and non-vaccinated cohorts and complementary approaches may be needed to demonstrate the impact of the vaccines. There is however, a need for a new technology and innovation like an integrated GIS, and other environmental modeling system, to allow health practitioners as well as policy makers, for better management, productivity and profitability.

Abstract:
Information communication technologies (ICTs) have continued to evolve at very rapid rate. The advancement in ICTs impacted greatly on the practice of journalism and blurred the distinct values that separate radio, television and newspapers in the old media. It is now possible to accessed radio, television and newspaper from one source in the new media. However, there is no clear-cut law or regulation that addresses this convergence of the old media in the new media in Nigeria. The chapter takes a look at the various media laws in the country and notes their point of convergence or divergence if any. The chapter further explores the nation’s media laws for their places in the country’s ICTs policy or the reverse order where such media laws cover or take care of certain ICTs operations. It found there are gaps in ICTs regulations in the country. It recommends a unification of policies or extant laws to address the new order where the old media have been rolled into one. The study draws on the historical and archival methods. Data gathered through observations and reviews of available relevant literatures were analyzed qualitatively.
