dc.description.abstractThis paper is a historical study of the informal Arabic Educational system in Ilorin metropolis; it examined how the system, through its products, supports and enhances sustainable development in Nigeria. In order to achieve this, the paper was divided into five sections. The first section gives an account of the growth and development of Ilorin town. The second section discusses Arabic and Islamic education in Ilorin, while the third section examines Arabic informal education in Nigeria. The fourth section highlights the role of the products and the stakeholders of Arabic informal education in contributing to sustainable development in Nigeria. The fifth section is a conclusion that summarizes the study, enumerates its findings and suggestions. The study discovered that the majority of Ilorin indigenes, who became eminent in various fields of endeavors today, started their education from the Arabic informal Education. Many of the religious leaders in the country today graduated from this system. In particular, the Mankondoro group, who still value this system of education over any other system, contributed immensely to the development of Nigeria, although a substantial number of them completed their education in a formal setting. Conclusively, it is suggested that if the system is improved and raised to the high standard of formal Education it would contribute more to the sustainable development of Nigeria in particular and even Africa in general. It is our belief that Arabic Education curricular developer and stakeholder will find this study significant to their work.en_US
