| 520 | |a This paper focusedon the role of religious education in the development of Nigeria. It is erroneously believed in some quarters that religion has out-lived its usefulness and therefore has nothing to contribute to human development in this age of globalization. The government in most African countries and Nigeria in particular are not helping the situation either. They focus the attention of their educational policies and agenda on the sciences as the foundational courses around which they think actual development must spring up. Little emphasis is laid on humanities under which religion is a core course. This situation calls for holistic reflection and intervention of all stakeholders in the field with a view to repositioning religious education to an enviable position. The research method adopted for the study was documentary approach using library materials and internet based sources. It was discovered that religious education in schools is valued by individuals and communities who understand its contributions. Religion is also potent enough to stabilize the country since high moral values, ethics, principles and character conducts are exemplified in it. The paper arguedthat it is only when religion and religious education are upgraded to its rightful position by the government in the formulation of developmental policies that Africa as a whole and Nigeria in particular would adequately progress. Finally, the paper recommendedthe need for religious scholars to integrate religious education with science and technology to function optimally in this era of globalization and that religious education should be made compulsory at all levels of education in Nigeria since each child is constitutionally entitled to freedom of thought, conscience and religions. | ||
