Beginning in 2025, President Bola Tinubu has approved reintroducing history as a required course for both primary and secondary students.
Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, made this known on Channels Television’s 2024 Year-End Review on December 31, 2024.
Apparently, Nigeria’s fundamental school curriculum was cut in 2007, drawing criticism for years.
However, the education minister said, “Let me go to basic education, the curriculum is good. Nigerian history is one of the most crucial things that hasn’t been preserved in the past. We have now people of 30 years disconnected from our history, it doesn’t happen in any part of the world.
That is back in our curriculum, according to President Bola Tinubu, and that is mandated. From 2025, our students in primary schools, JSS and secondary schools will have that as part of their studies. ”
