“Our education system has failed us in that many graduates, including experts in agriculture are looking for white collar jobs”, these are the words of prof. Tolu Odugbemi, Vice Chancellor of Ondo State University of Science & Technology (OSUSTECH) okitipupa, in a congratulatory statement to president-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd).
Prof. Odugbemi congratulated Buhari, his vice president-elect, prof. Yemi Osinbajo,especially President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, for the successful conduct of the March 28th polls.
The VC urged the general to cautiously tackle challenges bedeviling the country’s education system as well as make conscious efforts to address other societal challenges.
According to him, “What is the value of education if products of the education system do not impact positively on the society and environment? Education is meant to serve as a tool to improve our towns, local government areas, states, nigeria and the continent at large. Honestly, we are still lagging behind from an acceptable standard perspective.
“Across the country, pupils attending public primary schools are being subjected to formal instruction in dehumanising circumstances.
He also urging Nigerians to desist from paying homage or special solidarity visits to elected officers, he said such visits were unnecessary distraction for good governance.
Prof. Odugbemi stated that God has indeed given Nigerians “a rare opportunity to rebuild the country to the dream of all and now the time for teamwork and divine guidance.”
