Girl Child Education: Key To Development / Why Nigerian Universities Rank Poorly Globally, By Okebukola / FG Appoints Jega, Peter Okebukola To Review Nigeria’s University System (2) (3) (4)
Education Key To National Development – Prof. Okebukola by Biafra1000: 9:35am On Aug 06, 2016 |
The education of children has been described as the key to the future of Nigeria. Making the assertion in Ota, Ogun State, during the 3rd valedictory session of De Dynamic College, a former Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission, Prof. Peter Okebukola, who was represented at the occassion by the National Programme Officer for the Centre for National Security, Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Mr. Damian Oyibo, said with the youthful population of Nigeria and Africa, education security was necessary to drive the engine of societal growth. The former NUC scribe also pointed that to ensure that every child is educationally secured; Nigeria needs to improve its economy by being a producer rather than a consumer. According to him, no developing country removes its subsidy on education and still thrives. He said there should be a form of support system so that those who are intelligent but cannot afford to go to school will still be able to do so. “There should be an education tax, whereby a percentage of education is voted into education. If these are adhered to, there will be a balance between public and private schools. If the system continues like this, then we are sure that the money that goes into education goes into education” he said. Executive Director of the school, Alhaja Aramide Bello, said that the graduates are now prepared to take up future challenges after their six-year grooming experience at the college. punchng.com/education-key-national-development-prof-okebukola/ |
