Item Arabic education in Nigerian universities: the university of Ibadan as a model(Nigeria Association of Teachers of Arabic and Islamic Studies, (NATAIS), Ogun State, 2023-06) Ibrahim, L. A.This research aimed to shed light on the reality of Arabic education in Nigerian universities, with a special focus on what distinguishes the Department of Arabic Language and Islamic Studies at the University of Ibadan, which is considered the oldest scientific facility in this land. This excavation was carried out by investigating the stages through which Arabic activities passed through, and it explained its educational trends, which are not adopted by other Nigerian universities, especially with regard to teaching foreign languages. While the University of Ibadan was a British product, the establishment of subsequent universities was up to the Nigerian government. The research adopted the historical and inductive approach and concluded that the Nigerian universities that conduct Arabic programmes responded in their Arabic education to purely Arab trends, while the educational policy of the University of Ibadan was rooted in the ideologies of the colonialists since the dawn of its inception and continues despite the introduction of multiple developments to the university and its systems. This situation cannot be changed except by amending the university's educational policy left behind by the British colonization of the country and upon which the university was founded.Item Arabic as a viable tool for deepening western oriented knowledge: reading into the works of teachers of arabic in conventional universities, South-west, Nigeria(2020) Ibrahim, L. A.This paper explores the viability of Arabic as an efficacious tool for the acquisition of western oriented knowledge. This is done by investigating into the learning backgrounds of selected University teachers of Arabic in Yorubaland. The study, using both analytical and descriptive methods samples works of seven personalities. It is discovered that majority of the scholars under the study had no opportunity to attend pre-university schools but had to sacrifice their little time unconventionally to measure up with their peers with basic western education whose medium of instruction is English. Following their academic attainment, they contributed not only to da’wah, for which they trained hitherto, but also propagation of Yoruba culture through translation and publications. The paper concludes that their seamless intellectual migration is levered by their previous knowledge of the language of Quran.Item Arabic culture and human capital development: a study of the contributions of Ismail Taofiq AbdulGaniyy to the development of arabic calligraphy in Nigeria(A Joint Publication of the Alumni Association of Arabic Institute of Nigeria (AAAIN) and Islamic Studies Unit, Department of Religions.
