Abstract

The first recorded religious violence in Nigeria was in Kano in 1952,
then Maitasene crisis of early 1980s and the emergence of Boko Haram
in 2002in the Northern part of the country while efforts to
institutionalize peace in a badly divided societies has a herculean task.
The absence of peace education in theeducational curriculum Nigeria is
worrisome leading to indoctrinated youth serving as vanguard for
violence.The paper therefore examined the place of modified
educational curriculum in instilling ofculture of peace to minimize
violence. The study was descriptive and relied on secondary data
sources.It found that the division along ethnic and religious lines made
nationalism a mirage while the governments failed to develop the
political will to guarantee good governance.The study concluded that
the neglect of peace education in the nation‘s educational curriculum is
a serious challenge while its inclusion could inculcate a culture of
peace to curb terrorism and other form of violence. It recommended the
inclusion of peace education in the nation‘s educational curriculum and
the training of instructors as well as adequately funding and monitoring
the program to ensure that violence is minimized particularly in
Northern part of Nigeria and the nation. Finally, the support of other
actors in the educational sector is imperative to complement instruction
from schools.
