The Federal Government erred in removing history studies from primary and secondary school curricula beginning with the 2009/2010 academic year, according to Senate President Ahmad Lawan.
Lawan stated this in Abuja during the public presentation of the book “Foundation of Nigeria’s Unity,” written by Senator Sandy Onor, the Cross River State Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate.
He said, “We were misguided some years ago that history should be removed in our schools, and I wonder what we intended to achieve then…thank God we saw the fallacy in that decision and it was reversed.

“Therefore, I feel we are challenged. This book is telling us that we have to go back to our roots. The rest of us as leaders are supposed to work assiduously and make Nigeria a country where we want to be,” he said.
Despite commending the government’s decision to reinstate the subject to the teaching curriculum in 2018 following multiple concerns, Lawan stated that it was not the correct move.
