Nigerian Hisotry Jss Book 1

Nigerian History for Junior Secondary Schools has been written to fully satisfy the requirements of the newly introduced and independent History curriculum for the junior secondary school level by the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC). Each book of the course, organised into themes, fully reflects the contents of the new curriculum. The arrangement clearly permits the infusion and integration of emerging global issues on the meaning and nature of history, origin of history, migrations and settlement patterns of the peoples of Nigeria, political developments, geography and environment, historical sites and civilisation centres, economic activities, centralised and non-centralised polities, patterns of intergroup relations among the peoples of Nigeria, and the British colonisation of Nigerian territories.
