BUJOHIS Vol 7 published in 2025, continues the journal's tradition of fostering interdisciplinary scholarship in history, international relations, and developmental studies. This volume brings together a rich collection of peer-reviewed articles that examine contemporary challenges and historical dynamics shaping Nigeria, Africa, and the global landscape. With a focus on migration, governance, economic transformations, cultural reconfigurations, and social stability, the contributions offer critical insights into postcolonial realities, policy implications, and pathways for sustainable development. Drawing on empirical research, theoretical frameworks, and historical analysis, these articles contribute to ongoing discourses on national cohesion, environmental management, and global diplomacy. 

The articles in this volume are organized thematically, spanning migration and diaspora studies, environmental and peace governance, economic policies and global political economy, youth empowerment and mindset shifts, ethnic and political dynamics in Nigeria, religious transformations in West Africa, security and community initiatives, and localized historical inquiries. Scholars from diverse institutions across Nigeria and beyond provide nuanced perspectives, blending historical context with forward-looking recommendations.
