Note from Editor-in-Chief

 

Olu-Igbo is the official journal of Centre for Igbo Studies, University of
Nigeria Nsukka. It is a multidisciplenary journal which publishes peer reviewed
articles especially in Languages, Culture, Literature, Linguistics, Education,
Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.

 

This volume of Oluigbo
Journal contains articles mainly harvested from the first Hybrid International
Conference of the Centre for Igbo Studies on the theme: Reimagining Igbo
Studies in 21st Century Nigeria. The conference was held from Tuesday 15th August to 19th August, 2023. The conference was
aimed at getting the Igbo people both at home and in Diaspora back to their
base, reclaiming their value and identity.

 

All manuscripts go through a rigorous and yet
relatively rapid peer – review process which ensures timelines of publication,
widespread dissemination, high visibility, and high citations culminating to
high H- index and impact. We look forward to receiving extra ordinary
manuscripts of cutting-edge research and high standards of excellence for
publication in this journal.

 

I wish to thank all members of the editorial team
and all the various people who work at the back-end for keeping this journal
afloat.
