Abstract

This paper examines the significant role of African Initiated Churches (AICs) in fostering educational empowerment within Nigeria. Through a comprehensive analysis, it explores the multifaceted contributions of AICs, from grassroots initiatives to broader educational reforms. By bridging the gap between pulpit and classroom, AICs have become catalysts for social change and human development. The study underscores the importance of recognizing and harnessing the potential of religious institutions in shaping educational landscapes, thereby fostering sustainable progress and empowerment in Nigerian society.
