Nigerian Set to Return History to School Curriculum Starting in 2025
Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, recently announced that Nigerian History would be reintroduced as a subject in primary and secondary schools, following a directive from President Bola Tinubu.
Alausa made the revelation during an appearance on Channels Television’s End-of-Year Special Review show, where he discussed the country’s education reforms.
The move comes after a period when history was removed from the curriculum by the previous administration.
The Minister emphasized the importance of history in education, and how a lack of historical knowledge has led to a generation of young people, particularly those around 30 years old, who have little understanding of their own country’s past.
He pointed out that such a situation is rare globally, as most nations prioritize teaching their history to preserve identity and foster national pride.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
