Then it should be a nationwide problem. She clearly said Arewa for a reason. The Stare Governors, Senators and House of Reps are the problem. They are busy using religion to rob their people blind. Institute Shariah to finish them off if they complain. Why will Government in Lagos be responsible for what a Governor in the North is doing to his people.

tolugar:
The north always slowing down the progress of this country

Jamestown123:
How many Lagos public schools have CBT centers? And how many students in Lagos that studied in public schools have any knowledge on computers. Blame the foundation, besides, is the minister of Education not normal? How can you introduce what you don't have

SarkinYarki:
So how have they been passing Jamb ?

Amingol:
Northerners are actually alienated from ICT

Judolisco:
they don't have but every year, commissioners budget millions for purchase of computers for schs.... It's time we start seeing those computers and making use of them.....

2mch:
That Obo de report my comment because I asked him how SW candidates write JAMB.

Seun these your security when you put for the site is being taken advantage of. It’s too sensitive.

press9jatv:
Northern lady expresses deep concern over the introduction of Computer-Based Testing for WAEC and NECO. Said that this development could lead to a significant disaster, as about 99% of students in the North have never used a computer, let alone acquired basic computer literacy 💔💔

opalu:
Your governors should copy what Peter Obi did many years ago. Do massive installation of computers 🖥️💻 in the schools. This will boost computer literacy and mastery

Gbogboski:
less than 1% of aboki write JAMB. She is still correct

Tunji-Alausa is clearly out of touch with the Nigerian reality, man still thinks he’s in a tech lab somewhere in Chicago. I’m honestly surprised he hasn’t suggested integrating AI into the curriculum while he’s at it. This is what happens when we keep importing technocrats who’ve spent the last 40 years abroad, far removed from the dry chalkboards and empty classrooms of Sokoto, Zamfara, or Katsina.

Let’s not forget it was Tahir who thought kids must be 16 to enter university, now we have Alausa pushing Computer-Based Testing (CBT) across WAEC and NECO. Has he physically stepped foot into a school in Bakori (Katsina), Dandume (Katsina), Sabon Birni (Sokoto), or Goronyo (Kano)? Some of those schools need roofs, not routers. They need teachers, not touchscreens. They need clean water and toilets, not tablets.

When will these ministers realize you can’t code your way out of structural poverty? CBT in schools without power, without training, without infrastructure is not innovation—it’s elite delusion in action.”

SporaD8:
Stop projecting your reality and inadequacy on the whole of the country please!
It's not Tunji-alausa fault that schools were closed in the North for a month while student from other regions were not only studying diligently but also added extramural classes to it?

The Minister's responsibilities do not include building classrooms and forcing children to go to school.
Remind me again what happened to all the Almajiri schools built by Gooduck Jonathan administration?

If the plethora of structural poverty you alluded didn't stop Almajiri system, why should it stop free Universal basic education funded by FG with free food program added as bonus?!

if your Governors collect huge allocation to build schools, instead they sponsored mass-marriage. How is that the Minister's fault?!
Is the North the only region with power failure or infrastructural deficit?

Excuses upon lamentations isn't the solution. Mass reorientation and mentality shift is what will be needed to liberate the North.
Unfortunately, your leaders fear this shift because mass enlightenment will make them lose control over their people!

shedy03:
We the northerners don't want to believe so. lol.

malali:
You make assumptions about me......
As Minister of education he has federal oversight over the nations education.
If any state is found wanting his ministry can hold them accountable.
How can you be buying planes and blaming the governors for not building a runway and airport.
Shouldn't you know that state of each airport and runway before announcing that you are planning to buy more airplanes.
Who is responsible for the discordance ? I have nothing against Tunji-Alausa.
But i expect better from him. Obviously he doesn't want to ruffle feathers.....But the same way we criticized Tahir and he was removed, we would criticize Alausa too.
Nobody is above public criticism as a public servant.

SporaD8:
If you resides in Nigeria, you should know how the federal system works.
Let me use your illustration. Since Education is in the concurrent list - Before any federal parastatal can buy educational materials(planes) to be distributed across states, be rest assured that allocation has been provided to states to build classrooms(airports) much more earlier; that is even if the state didn't deem it fit to build one already.
Wether the allocation was embezzled, misappropriated or diverted by any State cannot be blame on the ministry in charge; rather the state government should take responsibility. So far as other states have their airports ready, your state has no tenable excuse!

Your state and local govt cannot be cheating you and you will heap the blame on FG. It's improper.
It's why they continue to keep you ignorant and unlearned!
It's why the South is clamoring for fiscal federalism and local government autonomy. That way, states and local govt can no longer hide their incompetency under the federal government.
