Book Development Effort
In 2009, CON engaged in book project. It produced two standard textbooks on curriculum studies for tertiary institutions. They are; 
  • Curriculum Theory and Practice 
  • Curriculum Diversification in Nigeria.

Book in Honour

In 2014 CON engaged in another book project. This time, it produced a book of reading in curriculum studies in honour of the then president of CON, Prof. (Mrs.) A E O Esu. The title of the book is Curriculum and Teaching in Nigeria, edited by Prof. U M O Ivowi. This book is for use in tertiary institutions.

Currently, CON has developed a template for another book of reading in honour of her Grand Patron, Prof. U.M.O Ivowi. The title of the book is Issues in Nigerian Curriculum Development and Implementation, edited by Profs. Uche M Nzewi and T N Kanno This promises to be unique going by the content coverage and the national spread of the contributors to the book of readings. The death of Prof. Kate Nwufo, the initiator of the project, had a temporary setback, which the remaining editors, Profs. Uche Nzewi and T N Kanno had since overcome and have confirmed to deliver as scheduled.
