Why is "History" not included in the Secondary School curriculum

Why is History not taught in our Secondary Schools starting from JSS 1?
The only 'history' I recall learning was from Social Studies and it was a combination of basic geology and meagre stories of Jaja of Opobo , Mary Slessor and how Mungo Park discovered river Niger for us (sigh)

With no details of Our cultural heritage, we grow up with no sense of belonging to Nigeria, No sense of patronage. We sing the National Anthem loudly but it means absolutely nothing to us. Children grow up wanting to live in 'that-country-where-beyonce-lives'. This would change somehow if we know how much our ancestors fought for the good. The pride they had in their heritage.

Who knows the Minister of Education?
Who studied History in a tertiary Institution?
Who can write a detailed and true History textbook for Secondary Schools?
and even Who wants to see better nollywood movies based on the TRUE lives of our noble ancestors?
