Group calls for raise in educational qualifications of president, governors in Nigeria
The group which recommended a Masters Degree for people seeking to become governors or president in Nigeria said its proposition were as a result of the recent judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal which upheld President Muhammadu Buhari’s election despite the call to question of his school certificate by his opponent, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
The group said, “It also amounts to racing back to the cave from being the Africa’s cradle of knowledge for Nigeria’s seats of Presidential and Gubernatorial powers to be cheaply and illiterately occupied by persons without physically proven or certified educational certificates or qualifications. The group said that it would be wise to raise the educational qualification of governors and the president of the country if it must develop alongside other countries of the world.
