On 31st January 2024, the Minister of Education, Dr Olatunji Alausa, speaking on Channels TV, announced that: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has mandated that we put back Nigerian history in our curriculum. From 2025 our students in primary school and Government Secondary Schools will have that as part of the course of study in schools”. The Minister prefaced the announcement saying: “The National Educational Research and Development Council have just reviewed the curriculum for the basic education level.
