However, the subjects are not given their deserved attention in the current educational system in the country due to many reasons. This study examined the roles played by Arabic and Islamic Studies in the overall development of Nigeria and the best way they can be utilised for this purpose. The study adopted a qualitative strategy of data collection and analysis. The secondary source used for data generation included books, journal articles, reports and other related sources. The data generated were discussed and interpreted using thematic analytical interpretations. The study discovered that the subjects of Arabic and Islamic Studies contributed immensely to the moral, spiritual, economic, political and social development of Nigeria for many decades and it is still playing these roles positively despite the numerous challenges that they are facing. The study recommends among others that there is a need for the government to initiate a total overhaul of the curriculum, change situational and motivational conditions of the teachers of Arabic and Islamic Studies at all levels and encourage the need for a better community approach towards enlightening the public on the vital need for the subjects in our society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
