dc.description.abstractThis paper was informed by the contribution of Julius Nyerere’s education for self-reliance and its pragmatic impact on education today. This brings about an understanding that knowledge should not just be for knowledge’s sake but should order a course in the individual and society at large. Beyond Nyerere’s recommendation, this paper argues for a form of education that is geared towards attitudinal and social re-orientation, which will bring about social cohesion in Africa. In carrying out such task there should be an educational reformation at all levels of learning that will engender harmonious living in the society. This paper submits that education, just like the Socratic recommendation should be geared towards enlightenment and social orientation that will instil the right values, which will consequently foster a peaceful coexistence across tribes, ethnicities, and religions in Nigeria.
