President Muhammadu Buhari has advocated for the inclusion of two Islamic studies books by the late Justice Muhammad Bashir Sambo in the curriculum of all federal colleges.The president stressed the importance of studying such books for Nigerians, especially in the face of the gradual decline in moral and religious values in the country. He further ordered the Ministry of Education to look at the editions with a view to including them in the curriculum of all government colleges.
Nigerians react:
Many social media users expressed dissatisfaction with the news. Before Buhari’s emergence as the country’s president, the APC candidate was accused of being “a religious fanatic” who wanted to spread Sharia law in the northern states and then across the country, which he had said in 2001.
