Creech Jones and African Universities, 1943–50
Sir Arthur Creech Jones has been an intriguing figure in British imperial history both as a Member of Parliament and as Secretary of State for the Colonies.

Igbo history has not been adequately researched. Worse still, the little known about the people has not been dated. It might be suggested that the major reason which makes the study of the Igbo people unattractive to researchers has been the lack of a proper chronological…
