Traditionalists want traditional religious knowledge to be taught in school

Making the call in Ibadan on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, the Secretary of the Oyo State branch of the association, Fayemi Fakayode, said the intention behind the idea was to impart the younger generation with Yoruba culture and tradition.

This is contained in a statement he signed, where he also urged the governments to include Traditional Religious Knowledge as a subject in the primary and secondary school curricula, like Islamic Religious Knowledge and Christian Religious Knowledge.

Fakorede emphasised the need for proper education to disabuse the minds of the younger generation about Yoruba history and antecedents.
