Abstract

This paper examined the recent immortalization project of Hon. Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe at Enugu. Historicizing his achievements and legacies, the paper studied the roles he played in ensuring that independent Africa is attained and why he continues to be remembered even after his death. The research method is qualitative and descriptive. Secondary data such as newspapers, books, journals and online materials are used to enrich the work. The result shows that the inauguration of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Centre and other previous projects that immortalized him were as a result of his outstanding and selfless services to Africa and Nigeria in particular. The paper discovered that the new Nnamdi Azikiwe Centre was his renovated residential lodge which richly embodies his political history and career years, thoughts, ideology, and philosophy. The findings of this research will help government officials, historians, tourists, and students in making decisions on good governance, consulting material in education, and tourism development.

Nnamdi Azikiwe中心:尼日利亚Zik小屋的不朽历史——旅程、项目和旅游潜力

本文考察了埃努古的Nnamdi Azikiwe博士最近的不朽项目。本文将他的成就和遗产历史化，研究了他在确保非洲独立方面所发挥的作用，以及为什么他在死后仍然被人们记住。研究方法是定性和描述性的。二手资料，如报纸、书籍、期刊和网上资料被用来丰富工作。结果表明，恩纳姆迪·阿齐基维中心的落成以及使他不朽的其他先前项目都是他对非洲，特别是尼日利亚作出杰出和无私服务的结果。本文发现，新的Nnamdi Azikiwe中心是他改造的住宅，丰富地体现了他的政治历史和职业生涯，思想，意识形态和哲学。这项研究的结果将有助于政府官员、历史学家、游客和学生就良好治理、咨询教育材料和旅游业发展做出决策。

期刊介绍： For the last quarter of a century, the Journal of Black Studies has been the leading source for dynamic, innovative, and creative approach on the Black experience. Poised to remain at the forefront of the recent explosive growth in quality scholarship in the field of Black studies, the Journal of Black Studies is now published six times per year. This means a greater number of important and intellectually provocative articles exploring key issues facing African Americans and Blacks can now be given voice. The scholarship inside JBS covers a wide range of subject areas, including: society, social issues, Afrocentricity, economics, culture, media, literature, language, heritage, and biology.
