The presidential candidate of the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), Fela Durotoye, has said Nigerian leaders do not value the nation’s education sector because they (leaders) lack ‘qualitative’ education.

Mr Durotoye made this known at an annual leadership and entrepreneurs’ conference organised by the students of the Department of Economics, Obafemi Awolowo University, on Wednesday.

His criticism is coming at a time university lecturers are clamouring for proper funding of Nigerian universities and have shut down academic activities in various schools.

Recall that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) embarked on an indefinite and ‘total’ strike on Sunday and the compliance of some schools.

Addressing the comatose state of the education sector, Mr Durotoye said Nigerian leaders do not really have the quality “of what we can call education”.

“Since most of them have no idea of what education actually means, they are always finding it very difficult to actually define the space of education in a nation’s development. If you do not have something it is possible for you not to value it” he said.

Also, he faulted the curricular of the country’s tertiary institutions, saying “there’s need to have practicing individuals in the disciplines design it.”

“We can specialise our institutions, and once we specialise our institutions, we specialise the people. Our generation must build a nation where everybody gets equal values without necessarily have to know anybody, where you want and receive equally those opportunities the rich get easily.”

hmmm true talk sha

Good

Nigerian leaders don't value education because they are failed leaders, them no send us...

Was it not during the PhD holder's tenure that ASUU went on its best striking form

In this life everyone get him own talent, even quality leadership na talent too but Nigerians go just dey carry President give any efulefu wey dem dey sentimental with...

Nigerians should advance past this level of sentiments, the earlier the better.

This Fela Durotoye for example, you need to soothsayer to tell you that he will make a better President than Buhari and Atiku. But once you are blind, you are blind.

this guy has been moving A lot i almost hope he wins ...but we all know how things go

gbam,fact..howd we value education when the forefront himself isnt educated

ASUU strike should be a strike every Nigerian should embark on. Education is key but Nigerians aren't serious

I totally agree with him.
Most Nigerians are not really educated. They went through the system and came out with a degree.

It is such a shame. We do not understand the value and essence of education has a nation .

80 percent of the Young ones in university for example either bribe, smoke weed, sleep with prof, drug addicts, yahoo boys or drink alcohol all through their 4-5 years at university.

They have nothing tangible in the head to offer. Then they come out claiming graduate.

Most can not defend their project, talk of remember what it was all about because they paid for it.

These are the current and future leaders. We are in trouble because we keep voting them.

Cos they dont want us to Progress

An educated blackman is dangerous. What we hv in nigeria is not rducation. Just cram nd pour

The question is do really have an educational system in Nigeria? An educational system that has produced more gullible and wicked leaders. When a nation has not defined its destination why would it build any tangible foundation for it's populace. Until we discover who we are we shall always continue in this huge disservice to our nation and continent at large.

fela should go and sit down......if he wins in his local government, i will trek for him. [color=#990000][/color][b][/b]

Fela Durotoye, the Buharist who supported an educationally-deficient Buhari in 2015 comes to tell us that Nigerian leaders do not value education.

Hold my beer, someone. I want to laugh

ASUU’s best striking form was during the Obasanjo Era.

I know you hate GEJ, but do not go revisionist on him. It is disingenuous.

The longest nationwide ASUU strike in recent memory was a 1year+ strike during the 2000/2001 period. In some schools, it lasted for almost 2 years. Obj was president then (were you a baby then?). And this was not the only one. It was the first time in my life I heard of ASUP (Polytechnics association) because they went on strike too.

What do you think they will say?

May be you can go because in my life you lack relevance and I am where I am I am today.
