It evaluates groups and individuals attempt at incorporating Islamic visions into the secular system of education practiced in the country. The study starts off by assessing the various definitions of IoK and how they all reflect a “commonly-shared religious vision”. This study also present the personalities and organizations involved in IoK process in the country. It also explores the extent of their successes, failure as well as challenges. The study concludes that without a proper understanding of Islamization (concept, aims, implementation processes), the secularization of Muslims in the country will remain a problem and would continue to affect the development of Nigerian Muslims.
