Gbajabiamila Seeks Closer Ties With Finland On Education, Tax System
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila has reiterated the determination of the House of Representatives to partner with stakeholders to reposition the country’s education as one of the best in the world.
Pulkkinen had informed the Speaker about the visit of Finland’s House Committee on Finance to Nigeria next month on a working visit aimed at exchanging ideas.According to the Ambassador, Finland being globally noted for its strides in education and technology is also reputed for its tax system which has 96 per cent of its citizens paying tax, happily.
“We are glad because education is one of the main focus of the 9th Assembly because education is in the front burner, it is something we take seriously because we believe that for us to build on our successes, for us to build a future for our country, a solid education foundation needs to be there. “We spent about N620b on education in Nigeria, though quite a hefty sum, but still short of the recommendations of the United Nations for developing countries of between 15-20 per cent.
