African historian Prof Toyin Falola receives honorary doctorate from the N=
WU By Gofaone Motsamai and Phenyo Mokgothu

One of the world=E2=80=99s most-cited African scholars=2C Professor Toyin=
 Falola=2C has received an honorary doctorate from the North-West Universi=
ty (NWU).

The degree was conferred on 9 May 2025 during a graduation ceremony held a=
t the NWU=E2=80=99s Mahikeng Campus. This recognition marks a significant=
 milestone in the university=E2=80=99s relationship with the eminent histo=
rian=2C who delivered a public lecture recently humanities education for A=
frican futures.

Prof Falola=2C renowned for his extensive scholarship in African history o=
f University of Texas at Austin=2C culture and decolonial studies=2C recei=
ved the degree in recognition of his academic achievements=2C global influ=
ence and decades-long public engagement that has shaped African historical=
 discourse across continents.

Delivering his acceptance speech=2C Prof Falola applauded NWU=E2=80=99s co=
mmitment to holistic education. =E2=80=9CI wish to emphasise the value of=
 knowledge beyond classroom walls. Numerous studies have shown that educat=
ion transcends official instructions since values are first taught at home=
 or in the community.=E2=80=9D

He commended the NWU for integrating formal instruction with value-based e=
ducation: =E2=80=9CI feel fulfilled whenever I see an institution that pas=
sionately integrates these two elements because that is what education is=
 truly about. Education liberates the mind from mental slavery.=E2=80=9D

Standing out for social justice and decolonisation

Highlighting NWU=E2=80=99s contributions to curriculum transformation and=
 African-centred scholarship=2C he said: =E2=80=9CThe North-West Universit=
y distinguishes itself from its contemporaries through its commitment to s=
ocial justice and the decolonisation of the curriculum. This approach emph=
asises equality and enables students to engage freely with diverse populat=
ions from Africa and beyond without fear.=E2=80=9D

Prof Falola also praised the NWU=E2=80=99s reputation for research excelle=
nce and graduate impact=2C acknowledging its efforts to equip students for=
 real-world challenges and celebrate African identity through education. H=
e pointed to the university=E2=80=99s role in producing socially responsib=
le=2C value-driven graduates who excel in fields ranging from politics and=
 governance to economics=2C science=2C engineering=2C sports=2C arts and a=
cademia.

In 2023=2C Prof Falola donated 27 books to the NWU=E2=80=99s Mahikeng Camp=
us library=2C 12 of which he either authored or co-authored. The volumes e=
xplore topics such as decolonisation=2C African politics=2C philosophy and=
 historical methodology. That was also the year he delivered his public le=
cture on the campus=2C hosted by the Indigenous Language and Media in Afri=
ca research focus area.

His global influence includes advisory roles for institutions such as the=
 United Nations Educational=2C Scientific and Cultural Organisation=2C the=
 African Union and the Economic Community of West African States=2C partic=
ularly on issues related to refugees=2C peacebuilding and cultural policy.

The NWU honorary doctorate adds to a long list of awards Prof Fabola has r=
eceived=2C including the Lincoln Award=2C the Amistad Award and the Nigeri=
an Diaspora Academic Prize.

For the NWU=2C the recognition is not only retrospective but forward-looki=
ng =E2=80=93 part of a broader mission to honour scholarship that originat=
es in Africa and speaks to the world.
