Dear All, 

The Network of Benue Cross River Historians (NBCRH) at its Maiden
International Conference of September 4th-  5th, 2013 on the theme
"Historicizing the Civil War Experience of Border Communities in
Nigeria", conferred its prestigious Magaret Ekpo Award on Prof Toyin Falola of the Department of History, University of Texas  at Austin. 

Do join me in congratulating our indefatigable Toyin Falola for his latest laurel,  the Distinguished Magaret Ekpo  Award for Excellent Academic Mentorship, Institution Building and Selfless  Service to Humanity!

Justifying Professor Falola's nomination for the Distinguished Margaret
Ekpo Award, Professor Okpeh O. Okpeh, Jr. who read Falola's citation at
the occasion declared, inter alia, that:

"Professor Toyin Falola has an outstanding and unbroken track record of
teaching and research excellence spanning three decades. The NBCRH is
indeed privileged to honor this great Nigerian Historian, teacher of
teachers, mentor of mentors and Professor of Professors. This is our
modest way of acknowledging and identifying with this distinguished
scholar, a Pan Africanist per excellence and a worthy son of Nigeria in
whom we are all truly pleased".
