The Federal Ministry of Education has clarified that the History textbook ‘Living History’ has not been approved for use in Nigerian schools, describing reports to the contrary as misleading and inaccurate.
In a statement by Boriowo Folasade, the ministry emphasized that the book was never submitted to the National Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) and does not appear on the official list of approved instructional materials.
The ministry urged parents, teachers, school administrators, and the public to ignore misinformation and refrain from using unapproved textbooks, stressing that only NERDC-endorsed materials align with the national curriculum and uphold cultural inclusivity and teaching standards.
