In 1992, the National Board for Technical Education (N.B.T.E.) established the Citizenship Education Course Programme for Polytechnics in Nigeria. The programme is divided into two courses Citizenship Education 1 (GNS111/127) and Citizenship Education 11 (GNS 121/128/STS 211), each having the following features;

CONTACT HOURS: 2

CREDIT UNIT: 2

ASSESSMENT: The assignment/presentations/term papers and quizzes attract 40%. The end of the Semester Examination is awarded 60%.

The aims of these courses in citizenship are to expose the students in the polytechnic system to the basic concepts and provisions of the Nigerian constitution. It is also to instil into their consciousness an awareness of democratic values, socio-political institutions and citizens rights and obligations to the society, these are expected to enhance the citizens’ political, social, economic and moral performance in the challenging real life situation in Nigeria. (Okolo, nd. Nigerian Academic Forum Volume 4 No 2, April, 2003)

According to N.B.T.E (1992) the philosophy behind the establishment of the programme is to “… enable us to socialize the Nigerian (Youth) to cultivate desirable habits, values, attitudes, nationalism, and to appreciate the status of the constitution as the will of the people. All these will (expectedly) lead to the achievement of our national objectives of a free, democratic just and egalitarian, united, strong and self-reliant, nation with opportunities”.
