In the bustling landscape of Nigerian education, a quiet revolution is underway, led by the innovative work of educational consultant Omolara Oni. At the heart of this transformation is “The Perfect Civic Education Workbook,” a publication she co-authored that is reshaping how students engage with foundational concepts of citizenship and democracy.

Since its release, the workbook has moved swiftly into classrooms, earning praise from educators and students alike. Precious A., a senior secondary student at Word of Faith Schools, shares, “The way it breaks down complex topics like democracy and human rights into clear exercises made everything so much easier to understand. The workbook helped me to not just memorize facts but to really apply them.”

This hands-on, practical methodology has been a key factor in its rapid adoption by reputable institutions across the country, including the prestigious Igbinovia Group of Schools. Mr. Olakunle T., a Senior Civic Education Teacher at Innomwan Foundation School, describes the book as a “game-changer,” noting a “noticeable improvement in my students’ class participation and overall performance since we started using this book.”

Oni’s influence, however, extends far beyond her publications. As a recognized leader in teacher professional development, she has delivered training programs that empower educators to integrate digital tools into their teaching. Her unique expertise in both creating impactful curriculum and training teachers to use it effectively has cemented her reputation as a leading authority in her field. She ranks amongst the few experts making meaningful change in Nigerian national education system.
