The Federal Ministry of Education has denied approving the “Living History” textbook, which reportedly excludes Igbo content, clarifying that the book is not authorized for use in any Nigerian school.

Education thrives on truth. Unity thrives on understanding.
My attention has been drawn to misleading reports and public discussions surrounding a History textbook titled “Living History,” including claims alleging the exclusion of Igbo content and suggestions that the book has been approved for use in Nigerian schools.
I wish to state clearly, firmly, and unequivocally that “Living History” is NOT an approved textbook and has not been recommended for use in any Nigerian school by the Federal Ministry of Education.
For the avoidance of doubt, the book was never submitted to or approved by the National Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC).
I encourage the public to support responsible discourse, reject divisive misinformation, and verify the approval status of educational materials through official channels before adoption or use.
For verified information on approved textbooks, stakeholders should consult the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC).
