The training of child's personality towards the best moral and social conduct and encouraging him through this training to grow up as a good, self-disciplined, responsible and law-abiding citizen who values his nation and is ready to safeguard the interest of his society, is one of the significances of Islamic Moral Education. To provide this moral training is therefore relevant to the present period when all kinds of corruption and vices like wine-drinking, adultery and fornication, theft and armed robbery, kidnapping and banditry, fraud, bribery, cheating in marketing and devouring of people's wealth without their consent pervade our society. No nation can have meaningful advancement without controlling such immoral and social vices. In view of this therefore, this paper is intended to discuss on the significance of Islamic Moral Education in Nigeria for National Advancement.
