The second objective is to equip students to make a meaningful contribution towards the attainment of national goals and the satisfaction of national needs. Third, the Department aims to instil in pre-service teachers the spirit of self-reliance, self confidence, and self-actualization. The final objective of the Department is to ensure that all educational programs provide awareness of the following issues: socio-political developments, the economy of the society, the reality of Nigeria’s pluralistic society, and the need to forge a strong and united country.
