dc.description.abstractThis paper explores the potential of Islamic education as a catalyst for development in Nigeria. The discussion identifies the developmental needs of Nigeria focussing on the challenges that have hindered the development of the country. Thereafter, the philosophy and values of Islamic education are brought to the fore using the primary sources of Islam as the framework. in the process, the strategies for the application of resources of Islamic education emerge. The paper concludes that the utilization of values of Islamic education is possible in Nigeria if Nigerians especially Muslims sufficiently understand the Islamic ethos and apply them to their educational endeavours. The effectiveness of educating the soul would guarantee peace which is the most important ingredient for development. The paper recommends among others, making religious studies a compulsory subject at both primary and secondary school levels while the values of concepts taught to learners should be emphasised.
