Indigenous knowledge and social work education in Nigeria
Social work education in Nigeria is largely dominated by Eurocentric knowledge, theories and beliefs. This has led to a one-sided narrative where Eurocentric ideologies are advanced and indigenous knowledge often sidelined in academic curricula.

To contribute to the discussi…

Participants for the study included four social work edu…
