The Federal Ministry of Education has reacted to misleading reports and public debates surrounding a History textbook titled “Living History,” particularly claims that it is approved for use in Nigerian schools and allegations of content exclusion.
The Ministry states clearly, firmly, and unequivocally that “Living History” is NOT an approved textbook and has not been recommended for use in any Nigerian school by the Federal Ministry of Education.
Dr Tunji Alausa, Minister of education clarified that the book was never submitted to the National Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC), the statutory body mandated to review, evaluate, and approve instructional materials in line with the national curriculum. As such, the textbook was neither assessed nor endorsed by NERDC and does not feature on the official list of approved History textbooks.
Following consultations with NERDC leadership and a review of the endorsed textbook list aligned with the revised curriculum, the Ministry confirmed that “Living History” is not an approved instructional material for nationwide use.
The Ministry therefore urged parents, teachers, school proprietors, administrators, and the general public to disregard misinformation and refrain from using unapproved textbooks, warning that such practices undermine curriculum standards and could negatively impact learning outcomes.
It emphasized that approved textbooks reflect Nigeria’s cultural diversity, shared history, and national values, advising stakeholders to always verify approvals through official NERDC channels.
