ANGWAN MISSION
(Historical and sociological analysis).

By the time we arrived ANGWAN MISSION in Zinna, the following families had already settled formally.

My methodology of enumeration, family by family, mentioning family heads, may be unscientific but convenient for the purpose of this discussion.

The names would be the way we used to call them as children in that neighbourhood. In some places I will attach names of their children for easy identification.

They included;

1. Baba Gideon Komonka(father to Amos Gideon)

2. Maman Wosenka or Lahko(a widow)

We shall soon share a link where interested members of the public can benefit from these materials at no cost.

We had earlier stated the objectives of the establishment of ASKIA BUREAU FOR HISTORICAL RESEARCH. However we find it expedient to repeat it here.

OBJECTIVES

1. Stimulate and sustain public interest in research.

2. To develop problems solving skills

3. To help develop capacity to independently generate, interpret and disseminate data.

4. Facilitate access to Primary data.

5. To inculcate critical thinking habits and promote the development of logical thought process and organisation.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.

The public would recall the unveiling of ASKIA BUREAU FOR HISTORICAL RESEARCH and the promise we made to periodically share information that may be of interest to the public.

We are unable to keep faith with our commitments due largely to the technical hitches we experienced.

We are happy to announce that we are able to overcome these challenges and ready to resume.

We sincerely apologise to the general public as we announce our resumption from tomorrow, Monday 11th September 2023.

Thank you all.
