- Description
- This study is the first to provide evidence of an extensive Nigerian social work literature. It is significant as it unsettles and refutes the prevailing narrative of an absence of African, specifically Nigerian, social work literature to inform the development of a culturally relevant curriculum. A scoping review was conducted to identify Nigerian social work literature that yielded 308 papers. Health emerged as the most established area of research (n = 70), followed by ageing (n = 44) and child welfare (n = 42). The findings have global relevance for social work educators seeking to decolonise the knowledge underpinning social work education and practice.
