Vol. 1 No. 1 (2002): March 2002 - Maiden Edition

The Maiden Edition of the Nigerian Journal of History & International Studies (NJHIS) is the realization of a dream conceived some years back by the members of the Department of History and International Studies, Lagos State University (LASU). The dream, unfortunately, could not be realized immediately due to a number of logistic problems. The Journal is an independent publication of the Department of History & International Studies, Lagos State University, with a multi-disciplinary approach without losing sight of our original historical and international studies. The maiden edition has five articles carefully selected from a pool of articles, submitted by erudite scholars. The first, "Nigeria-Japan Trade Relations, 1914-1954," delivered by Prof Gabriel Ogunremi at the Departmental Seminar Series, was the last lecture delivered by him. Prof Ogunremi was the first Head of History and International Studies
Department, and the first Professor of History, Lagos State University. He no doubt contributed immensely to the uplift of the department. It is hoped that the articles will contribute immensely to knowledge and nation building. We thank all the contributors and assessors, while encouraging
other scholars with flair for areas of our attention to send then contributions for assessment.
