This Nigerian news platform understands that History had been removed from the Nigerian school curriculum in 2007, which sparked widespread criticism over the years.
Addressing the issue, Alausa explained, “Let me go to basic education, the curriculum is good. One important thing has been missing in the past was Nigerian history. We have now people of 30 years disconnected from our history, it doesn’t happen in any part of the world.”
Alausa added that President Tinubu recognized the importance of restoring this critical subject to bridge the generational gap in historical knowledge.
“President Bola Tinubu has mandated that we put that back in our curriculum and that is back. From 2025, our students in primary schools, JSS and secondary schools will have that as part of their studies,” he confirmed.
