FULL LIST: FG releases approved subjects for basic, senior secondary education

 

The Federal Government has released the authentic and approved subject offerings for Nigeria’s newly revised Basic and Senior Secondary Education Curriculum, warning stakeholders against fake versions in circulation.

In a press release on Monday, the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council said: “We fervently call on all critical stakeholders to disregard any other fake and unauthentic list that is at variance with the authentic and approved list provided above.”

The reforms, undertaken by the Federal Ministry of Education (FME) under its National Education Sector Reform Initiatives (NESRI), are designed to reduce overload and ensure “positive learning outcomes” for pupils across the country.

The Executive Secretary of NERDC, Professor Salisu Shehu, signed the notice on 8th September 2025, confirming that implementation will begin at the start of each 3-year education circle (Primary 1, Primary 4, JSS1, and SS1).

The NERDC cautioned against misinformation, declaring: “nationwide sensitization and teacher capacity building have been slated to commence immediately for effective implementation.”

The Council assured that the reforms mark a new phase in Nigeria’s education sector, ensuring relevance, flexibility, and skill acquisition from the earliest stages of learning.

FG, stakeholders bicker

Meanwhile, the Federal Government, on September 1, said it had completed a comprehensive review of school curricula for basic, senior secondary and technical education aimed to make Nigerian learners “future-ready.”

Some teachers and parents have shown their criticism of the FG over the sudden introduction of the new national curriculum, saying they were not consulted in the process and warning that schools are ill-prepared for immediate implementation.

However, the FG insisted that the implementation of the new curriculum for basic, secondary, and technical education will begin with the 2025/2026 academic session.

Oluremi Tinubu Urges Stronger Action to Protect Schools in Nigeria

 

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has called for stronger and collective efforts to safeguard education and protect schools nationwide, describing it as fundamental to securing the country’s future.

In a message commemorating the 2025 International Day to Protect Education from Attack, Senator Tinubu, a former teacher said the theme, “Challenging Narratives, Reshaping Action,” is a call to move beyond rhetoric and take bold, decisive steps to ensure the safety of learners, teachers, and institutions.

She stressed that “education must never be compromised,” warning that any society that fails to protect its schools risks undermining its own future.

The First Lady commended organisations such as UNICEF, UNESCO, and the Education Above All Foundation for their work in promoting child education globally.

While acknowledging the contributions of Nigeria’s security agencies, she urged them to intensify efforts in protecting schools across the country.

PDP dead, buried, controlled by APC – Dino Melaye 9th September 2025

 

A former lawmaker representing Kogi West senatorial district, Senator Dino Melaye, has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party is “dead and buried,” alleging that the party is now under the control of the ruling All Progressives Congress.

Speaking in an interview on Arise Television, Melaye dismissed any hopes of revival for the opposition party, saying it no longer operates independently.

“Apart from our Lord Jesus Christ, no dead can rise again. PDP is dead and buried. The party was sold, and I’m not sure they even got the payment receipt. What you have now is an APC-controlled PDP,” he said.

Melaye, who previously contested under the PDP platform, accused unnamed agents of the APC of infiltrating and steering the affairs of the party from the presidential villa.

It is a party that has been controlled from the villa. I have said before that as far as we are concerned, it is the agents of the APC that control the PDP,” he added.

The former senator, however, stated that he is no longer a member of the PDP and has now pitched his tent with the African Democratic Congress which he described as the platform capable of defeating President Bola Tinubu’s APC government in the next general elections.

“I’m a proud member of the ADC, and by the grace of God, that is the party that will unseat Tinubu and send APC out of the villa come May 29, 2027,” Melaye stated.

While steering the discussion away from the PDP’s internal issues, Melaye urged Nigerians to focus on pressing national challenges.

“There are critical issues bedevilling this country: hunger, malnutrition, misgovernance, and maladministration. Those are the issues I think we should discuss, not a dead party,” he said.
