The Management of the National Museum Uyo has advocated inclusion of History studies in primary and secondary Schools’ curriculum, as well as collaboration to develop the museum. Recall that Nigerian History Study was removed from the Nigerian schools’ curriculum in 2009, blaming the removal on students’ apathy towards the subject, little or no job opportunity for History graduates and scarcity of Teachers for the subject. Following agitations from Nigerians, the policy was jettisoned and government redirected that history should be taught as a standalone subject, a policy which was implemented in November, 2022. In an exclusive Interview with Inspiration FM, the Uyo National Museum’s Curator, OKOKON BONGO-BASSEY said the removal of history from school’s curriculum had distorted the understanding of the Nigerian history. Mr BONGO-BASSEY who was speaking when he appeared live on the station News and Currents Affairs programme TALK RADIO on Saturday May 20 2023 added that Akwa Ibom has rich cultural heritage but complained about inadequate attention given to museums in the state. He spoke alongside the Assistant Chief Conservator of the Meseum, Mr Nsikak Nya. The conversation was given precedence during the week as the World marked the 2023 International Meseum Day focusing on the theme; “Meseums, Sustainability and Well-being”. DO TAKE A LISTEN
