A university certificate is important but not a necessity for everyone says Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah……
Nigerians need to focus more on developingentrepreneurial skillrather than acquiringuniversity degreesin order to find relevance in Nigeria’s consumer-based economy.
This much was stated by Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese,Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukahin aLeadershipinterview.
He argued that the high incidence of unemployment in the country is due to the ill-placed emphasis on degrees.
According to the Bishop, the degree-by-all-means trend is a post-colonial mentality that must be done away with.
“We lost the script somewhere along the line, and the idea of a university degree smacks of post-colonial mentality,”Kukahsaid.
“It is only in Nigeria that you find a man with seven children who believes that all the seven children must become graduates”
Bishop Kukah said getting auniversity degreeis not a necessity for everyone, pointing to theIgbo creativeandentrepreneurshipwhich has earned them some degree of self sufficiency.
Now guys do you really agree to all this, thatentrepreneurial skillis better thanuniversity degree in Nigeria ?

both works hand in hand.
but i feel skills/entrepreneurship supercedes degree.

innoson,dangote and many others wealth creator never had a degree before pursuing their dreams.
most of them like dangote later had d degrees after achieving their goals.

ok let me ask u a question;
i've u ever seen a vehicle mechanic ,carpenters,etc,who were the best during their days learning d act/skills searching for jobs?
never will u see.

now do we have 1st class graduate with ties and brown envelope searching for jobs?
offcourse u know they are in thousands.

Entrepreneurship rules. But only the wise and those who planned ahead succeeds in it.
