President Muhammadu Buhari has urged the Federal Ministry of
Education to include two Islamic Studies books written by the late Justice
Muhammad Bashir Sambo in the secondary school curriculum for all Federal
Government Colleges.
The president
gave the directive, weekend, in
Kaduna while launching the reviewed editions of
the books which were first published in 1974.
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.
The Islamic Studies for Secondary Schools, co-sponsored by the
Bashir Sambo Centre for Islamic Da’awah and Jaiz Charity and Development
Foundation in memory of late Justice Bashir Sambo, former Judge of Sharia Court
of Appeal and the Code of Conduct Tribunal, were reviewed by Mallam Mukhtar
Lere to conform with the current 6-3-3-4 educational system in the country.
Buhari thanked the co-authors for updating and structuring the
books to match the new secondary school curriculum. He urged the Ministry of
Education to look at the books with a view to adopting them in all government
colleges.
The chairman, Board of Trustees of Jaiz Charity and Development
Foundation, Alhaji Umar A. Mutallab, said the Bashir Sambo Centre for Islamic
Da’awah was established by disciples and associates of late Justice Sambo in
order to immortalise and inspire the legacy of the late sage.
