OPINION BY UTOMI JEROME-MARIO: Education sector and Nigeria’s revolving underdevelopment doors | TheCable
One recent occurrence that typifies the nation’s education sector as an area in urgent need of help is the current shoddy state of Ologbo Primary and Secondary schools, Ologbo, Obarentin community in Ikpoba-Okha local government area of Edo state, formerly called Rubber Research Institute of Nigeria Primary and Secondary school, Ologbo.
Expectedly also, many have risen in staunch defence of the governor saying that blame in the present circumstance may not be the smart thing to do for when a verdict is passed on someone, it blocks the possibility of knowing who the person is and definitely creates biases, sentiments, prejudice, and also makes the mind become impervious and closed towards either seeing the good sides of the person or the bad sides of the person.
Take, as an illustration, a while ago in a particular intervention, this author highlighted pictures of a similar shoddy state and wicked neglect of Oyoko Primary School, Abavo, Ika south local government area of Delta state.Like the Ologbo Primary and Secondary Schools situation, the referenced piece underlined disturbing pictures which showed visibly distressed structures with fallen ceilings, windows and doors.
By analysing each of these elements, in turn, it becomes easy to understand the essential ingredients that made great nations what they are today, as well as answer questions as to why others, such as Nigeria, are unsuccessful.
