Political dimension
Political dimension looks at civic education from the way government functions. We can learn how our leaders rule our country and the processes through which they do their work. When we examine this aspect, we will find out that governance is not for one person or just a few people but for everybody. This will help us to learn to become good leaders when we grow up. In Nigeria government is dividing into three levels of governments
– Local levels of government
– State levels of government
– Federal levels of government
Legal dimension
Legal dimension, teaches us the laws of our country and how such laws operate. We can then start practicing the laws. Whatever we do, we will ensure that we operate within the law.
