Edo to reintroduce Bini History in schools

Edo State government has revealed that it would reintroduce the teaching of History as a subject in schools in the state to allow the young generation learns about the labours of past heroes.

Besides, the state-owned tertiary institutions would also be equipped to teach Bini History while scholarships would be awarded to postgraduate students interested in studying Bini History for their doctorate degrees.

The state governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, disclosed this during the inauguration of the Castle of Legends Initiative (COLI), a non-governmental Organisation (NGO) in honour of Chief Anthony Enahoro, in Benin City, the state capital, on Saturday.

Noting that the knowledge of history was at its lowest ebb in the country, especially among the younger generation, Obaseki said the state would reintroduce History, adding that it would be taught alongside Social Studies.

The governor described Enahoro as a vibrant journalist and nationalist, who sacrificed his life for a better Nigeria.

Continuing, he said that Enahoro’s contributions to the country should be celebrated and his name immortalised at the green chambers of the National Assembly.
