The House of Representatives has urged the Federal Ministry of Education to reinstate Biology as a compulsory subject in the senior secondary school curriculum, citing concerns that its removal could undermine students' understanding of human life and the natural world. The House also called for the introduction of Spanish, German, Chinese, and Russian to strengthen Nigeria's capacity to meet international, scientific, economic, and diplomatic demands.
