The Federal Government has explained why it reintroduced history subject in primary and secondary school curricula.

It said the move was in recognition of the subject’s contribution to the socio-political, economic and cultural development of the nation.

“History is far too essential for us to deprioritise. It encourages us as individuals to not restrict ourselves to thinking in the short-term, but to remember that we too are living histories.”Continuing, Osinbajo said “…we cannot sure-footedly chart a course forward without understanding where we are coming from.

On the role of history in harnessing Nigeria’s rich cultural diversity, Osinbajo said the nation’s diversity as a unique strength for promoting national development would not be realised without thorough understanding of its different cultural practices and social norms which are embedded in history.

“Whilst our ethnic diversity is a great strength, one of the biggest challenges to nation-building is this same ethno-religious diversity which can also engender detrimental social conflict.”
