So we heard around the media and blogosphere yesterday about President Buhari Introducing  Islamic Religious Knowledge Books into the curriculum of schools in Nigeria and rumors flew about president Buhari planning to islamize Secondary Schools round Nigeria which was one of the propagandas levied around by the opposition before the march 2015 elections .

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

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.

But In a reaction to this sensitive statement Sources close to the president have debunked such rumors saying, president buhari asked such books be introduced only to islamic curriculum of schools which have been practicing  Islamic Religious Knowledge as a subject before now, citing the need for these books to enhance learning of the religion and essentials of the moral system the islamic Religion has to offer and is not compulsory for all Nigerian Kids to use this book since they haven’t been practicing the religion of islam before now.
