This study aims to investigate the impact of civic education on political participation and awareness among Nigerian youths. Civic education is considered an essential tool for fostering democratic values, active citizenship, and political engagement. However, little is known about its effectiveness in the Nigerian context, particularly among the youth population. The study employs literature review research design, where related literature, books, text, articles and journals were used as a primary source of data. The study found that there are large increases in basic civic and political engagement: better educated citizens are more attentive to politics, more likely to vote, and more involved in community associations. The paper concludes that quality civic education programmes for Nigerian youths can empower youths to actively participate in politics, shape the democracy, and contribute to the social and economic development of the nation with some recommendations made to guarantee youth in active citizenship.
