T he Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, has confirmed that President Bola Tinubu ordered the reintroduction of Nigerian History as a subject in basic education.

Speaking on Tuesday during Channels Television’s End-of-Year Special Review Show, Alausa stated,

“President Tinubu has mandated the return of Nigerian History as a subject in basic education.”

Meanwhile, SaharaReporters earlier reported that the Nigerian government announced the formal reintroduction of history as a subject in the country’s basic education curriculum after it was abolished 13 years ago.

Former President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua-led government in 2009 removed history from Nigeria's basic education curriculum supposedly because students were avoiding it with the claim that there were few jobs for history graduates, and that there was dearth of history teachers.

Vinod007:
One of the problems with Nigeria is that policy makers and supervisors most times do not understand what they superintend over. It is most unfortunate that the minister who is supposed to be in a knowledgeable position is also committing the same faux pax as many uninformed Nigerians. For the ministers information, though History was removed from the curriculum of primary schools and junior secondary schools during Ya'Adua's era, it was returned to the curriculum under former president Jonathan. This, I know because I work with the curriculum. The Minister should query his officials who misinformed him. The problem is that most officers in most federal and state ministries of education do not even have copies of the curriculum being operated in the country more or less knowing what is inside.

Port Harcourt, a city in Nigeria, was named after Lewis Vernon Harcourt, the then British Secretary of State for the Colonies, in 1913. The city was established during British colonial rule as a port for exporting coal from the nearby Enugu coalfields.

kettykings:
You know absolutely nothing about Rivers State. Port Harcourt was originally called igwe ocha before it was renamed after Lewis Vernon Harcourt

Hope the history subjects will not be dictated by some revisionists forces who may decide to hide bitter facts by regulating what can be taught and what cannot?
