Ensure history survives as a field of study, President of HSN tasks DG NYSC as he receives fellowship award

Published by

The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim has been conferred with the fellowship of the Historical Society of Nigeria (HSN).

This was contained in a statement issued to the Tribune Online and signed by the Director Special Duties, NYSC Alhaji Musa Abubakar, on Thursday.

According to the statement, the DG was honoured during the 66th Annual Conference of the Society held recently.

The statement quoted the President of the Historical Society of Nigeria(HSN), Professor Okpeh Okpeh Jr. saying, “Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim and other awardees of the prestigious fellowship were selected for the honour in recognition of their contributions and dedication towards promoting the activities of the Historical Society of Nigeria as well as the exemplary leadership qualities they have exhibited in the positions they occupy in their various careers and academics.

“Professor Okpeh pointed out that the awardees are by investiture as Fellows of the HSN are now members of a select group tasked with ensuring the survival of History as a field of academic endeavour and urged them not to rest on their oars but strive to achieve more.

“He also used the opportunity to thank the DG NYSC especially for his continuous support to the Historical Society of Nigeria over the years and added that HSN is the first professional association in Nigeria with a large membership that cuts across all fields of endeavour and profession, saying, the Society, according to Prof Okpeh, was established in 1955.

“The dressing of the NYSC Director-General in the Fellowship robe by the president and select members of the HSN Council was one of the high points of the annual gathering of the Society which was attended by members within and outside the country with so many others participating virtually via zoom in keeping with COVID 19 safety protocols,” the statement concluded.
