Abstract
Nigeria contains more than 250 ethnic groups together with 500 languages, which establishes it as one of the most diverse nations globally. The extensive and deep reservoir of Indigenous Knowledge (IK), which contains advanced systems of understanding social, spiritual, and environmental domains, exists within this diverse population (Okorafor, 2010). However, a striking paradox characterizes the nation's professional landscape (Omiunu, 2012). The sectors designed to serve its people, such as healthcare, education, and development, are heavily influenced by Euro-American models and standards (Lumonya, 2020). All too often, a meticulously planned healthcare intervention fails because it disregards traditional beliefs about illness, or a national education curriculum alienates students by omitting their communities? rich oral histories (Lumonya, 2020). Beyond merely being an intellectual concern, this contradiction has practical consequences such as mistrust, inefficiency, and the gradual deterioration of priceless cultural heritage.
