Civic and National Values in the Nigerian Curriculum

The civic and social science subjects help learners understand citizenship, national identity, history, and how society and government work. These subjects support the National Values strand of the Nigerian curriculum.

National Values and Civic Education focus on citizenship, character, rights, responsibilities, and the values that hold a society together.

Nigerian History gives learners a structured understanding of the country's past, while Government introduces the political systems, institutions, and processes that shape national life.

These subjects matter for national examinations and, more importantly, for raising informed and responsible citizens.
