assessed the Civic Education curriculum implementation for the greater efficacy
of political participation among senior secondary school students of Zamfara
State Nigeria. The population of the study was estimated to be 558, using a sample
of two hundred and seventeen (N=217). Three hypotheses were formulated and
statistically tested. A purposive sampling technique was used. The instrument

standard deviation were used in data analysis. Results of the analysis
indicated that civic education curriculum content has no significant
relationship in the views of civic education teachers on the greater efficacy
of political participation among senior secondary school students of Zamfara
State, while hypotheses 2 and 3 indicated that, there were significant relationships
in the
views of Senior Secondary School Civic Education teachers on the teaching
methods and instructional materials used in the efficacy of political
participation among Senior Secondary School students of Zamfara state. The
