About the Journal

The Nigerian Educational Psychologists is the journal of the Association of Child and Learning Psychologists (ACLP), formerly the Nigerian Society for Educational Psychologists (NISEP). The Association has, as much as possible, had a journal publication and a book of readings from the papers presented at each of its national conferences. The first volume of the journal was published in 2002, and the journal now appears in two annual editions.

When Volume 1 was published there was, to the best of the Association’s knowledge, no professor among its members. Prof. N.N. Okoye of the Department of Psychology, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, was therefore asked to serve as Editor-in-Chief for Volumes 1 and 2 to start the journal.
