ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the curriculum contents of faith and spirituality in the departments of social work at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and University of Ilorin, Nigeria, among others. The introductory section discusses Nigerian people and religious beliefs and practices. The paper also covers the meaning of faith and spirituality and the functions of social work in relation to the roles of faith and spirituality in social work education and practice in Nigeria. The importance of the integration of faith and spirituality into social work education and practice in Nigeria, and the challenges facing the integration of faith and spirituality into social work education and practice, are discussed. This chapter also makes some recommendations to mitigate the challenges facing the integration of faith and spirituality into social work education and practice. They include the need for student social workers to adequately acquire the needed social work knowledge, skills, and values in the application of faith and spirituality, if required, in the intervention process. Courses on faith and spirituality in social work curricula should be made compulsory by social work departments for all student social workers across all Nigerian tertiary institutions.
