Meaning of Civic education

Civic education is a subject that studies our rights, duties and responsibilities as members of our community.

The following are components of civic education:

1. Our rights: These are those things which we should enjoy as citizens of Nigeria. For example, we have the right to vote during elections and we have the right to be voted for too. Also, we have the right to freedom of movement.
2. Our responsibilities: This refers to those things which we should do to make our country great. For example, we must pay taxes to the government.
3. Talent and fulfillment: In civic education, we learn that we should use our talents to serve our country. For example, talented footballers are lifting up the great name of the country with their talent.
4. Freedom of the citizen: Civic education makes us understand that we are free s Nigerians. We enjoy the freedom to do what we wish, so long as it is within the law.
5. Open mindedness: We should accept new ideas and make progress. For example, we should look for better and easier ways of doing things so that life will be better for all Nigerians.

We can get new ideas from books, magazines, the Internet, telephones and many other avenues.
