I am told that when you ask any child what they want to become, they say, footballer, yahoo-yahoo person, kidnapper/bandits, comedian or LGA chairman: the easiest way out of illiteracy to make easy money in Nigeria.

Nigeria has regressed into a nation where mediocrity is allowed to lead where we have intelligent people.

There is a clear and direct relationship between a country’s development, economic progress, and education offered to its people.

All we need is implementation, that is what we need. Once it has been implemented all our children from primary yo tertiary institutions will be digitally literate.

No country can develop unless its citizens are educated. Education does not change the world. Education changes people, people change the world

It goes without saying, therefore, that higher education contributes significantly to the political, scientific, technological, economic, social and human development of any country
