Abstract
In any case, it is quite interesting to be borne at the back of the intellectual minds of both the researchers, students, scholars irrespective of the field of study and general reading public that this study titled Reinvigorating Historical Scholarship, Historian’s Position and the Quest For Visionary, Nigeria has been initiated consequent upon the understanding of the failure of the Nigerian government, or the policy makers, educationists, traditional political authorities, students and their teachers on the whole, to wholeheartedly and unreservedly rise to the responsibility ahead of them, particularly with regards to the backwardness of Historical studies in our Tertiary Institutions of Learning, relegation of Historian’s status, archival centers and custodians of records to the background. It is against this backdrop, the study set to investigate beyond the surface some of the major challenges confronting this studied academic discipline during the 21st Century; Nigeria with a view to proffering solution. In the course of conducting the study, several related literature both published and unpublished works were interacted with for appropriate historical reconstruction to be attained. The concept of “Reinvigorating” is a word which implies making somebody or something healthier, stronger and energetic. In another sense, means an ability to refresh, to make something looks more formal, efficient and successful. From this analysis, therefore, it could be understood that the study calls for full standardization of Historical studies, realization of Historian’s academic dignity in any given academic world, as well as to equally understand the positive impact of the two interwoven subject matters on human’s life. By and large, the study highlights the way out for the betterment, progress, ensurance of peace and actual nation building project of our beloved country Nigeria during the 21st century and beyond
