The formation of this association is motivated by the concern that the Arts/Humanities have been experiencing in the past, till the present, the questioning of their contributions to national development in a world where emphasis is on technology innovations to drive the economy. In this regard, the Arts/Humanities are considered peripheral in the spheres of economic, scientific, management and technological development of nations. Globally, various governments, funding agencies and multinational corporations have equally adopted their erroneous attitude which always leads to budgetary cuts for the advancement of knowledge in the Arts/Humanities, resulting to poor or complete absence of research funding, constant struggle for financial support, poor public prestige, lack of policy implementation of research findings in this area. The above challenges and more, informed the formation of Faculty of Arts/Humanities Scholars Association of Nigerian Universities (FAHSANU).
