Buhari Orders Education Ministry To Include Islamic Books In Federal Schools’ Curriculum

President Muhammadu Buhari has urged the Federal Ministry of Education
to include two Islamic Studies books written by the late Justice
Muhammad Bashir Sambo in the secondary school curriculum for all
Federal Government Colleges.

The president, gave the directive, weekend, in Kaduna while launching
the reviewed editions of the books which were first published in 1974.

Represented by Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State, the President
noted that such books had become essential in the face of declining
moral and religious values in the country.

The Islamic Studies for Secondary Schools, co-sponsored by the Bashir
Sambo Centre for Islamic Da'awah and Jaiz Charity and Development
Foundation in memory of late Justice Bashir Sambo, former Judge of
Sharia Court of Appeal and the Code of Conduct Tribunal, were reviewed
by Mallam Mukhtar Lere to conform with the current 6-3-3-4 educational
system in the country.

Buhari thanked the co-authors for updating and structuring the books
to match the new secondary school curriculum. He urged the Ministry of
Education to look at the books with a view to adopting them in all
government colleges.

The chairman, Board of Trustees of Jaiz Charity and Development
Foundation, Alhaji Umar A. Mutallab, said the Bashir Sambo Centre for
Islamic Da'awah was established by disciples and associates of late
Justice Sambo in order to immortalise and inspire the legacy of the
late sage.
