Governor Nasir Idris has made a decisive move to reshape education in Kebbi State by bringing back history lessons to every primary and secondary school effective immediately.
This came after a visit to the Government House by the Kebbi State Scholars Association. Professors and top academics used the occasion to outline their commitment to working with the state for meaningful progress.
Among them was Dr. Mansur Abubakar Warrah, a respected lecturer in History, Culture, and Religious Movements at the Federal University Dutsinma.
He championed the revival of history education as a tool for cultural preservation and moral development.
“Teaching history can help reduce insecurity by protecting children from negative foreign cultural influences,” Warrah said.

He warned that harmful external cultures are eroding the values of young people and fueling criminal behavior.
“Instilling our rich cultural heritage, such as decency, good manners, and etiquette, at the basic education level will help shape children into law-abiding and productive citizens,” he explained.
Governor Idris didn’t hesitate. He backed the proposal and directed the Ministry of Education to act without delay history must return to the classroom.
