Adamu said: “It will inculcate positive values of service, morality, discipline, courage, nationalism, and patriotism as shown by the history of our heroes.

It will enable children in the earliest stage to appreciate our past, have knowledge of our civilisations, cultures and political attainment as a nation.

“The flag-off is a good beginning of the execution of one of the strategic goals of the Education ministry,” he added. Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council, NERDC, Prof. Ismaila Junaidu, said the decision to separate History contents from Social Studies curriculum was in line with curriculum best practices as it was informed by policy decisions, needs assessment and popular demand.
