An examination of Students’ perception of Archaeology Education in Nigerian Universities: Challenges and Recommendations

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 the Nigerian public to draw a nexus between archaeology and development. This has resulted in cases of several dropouts 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.
