RETHINKING THE PLACE OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS FOR FORMATION IN RELIGIOUS RELATIONS IN NIGERIA
Abstract
Educational Institutions that open her admission to students from different religious backgrounds could help to form future leaders that will be able to relate effectively with members of other religions. The students from childhood would have been helped to overcome the phobia of relating with adherents of other religions. It is however, encouraged that schools that are open to children of different faiths are the best for the future of religious relations in Nigeria. With the use of the qualitative method of research methodology, the work posits that religious relations in Nigeria will be better in future with educational institutions that opens the doors to children from the different religions in the land as opposed to institutions that are open to adherents of the particular religion that establish the schools.
