Assessment of Archaeology Education in Nigeria Universities via the Perspectives of Students; Challenges and Solutions

Abstract

Archaeology has been integrated into the Nigeria course system since the 1970s and is presently part of the curriculum in few Universities. However, the course has remained unpopular and at a backstage to a few other courses due to the inability of Nigerian public to draw a nexus between archeology and development. This has resulted in cases of several drop out amongst students due to lack of a view of archaeological relevance to contemporary issues. This paper presents case studies of the experiences of some Archaeology students, the resultant feedbacks, and recommends possible approaches to project the image of the discipline.
