Nigeria's education is more or less knowledge transmission; it does not take care of the quality. I wish to say that Nigerian education is very weak and poorly funded. 'Sir, ma, we are moving into the fifth industrial revolution. It is called Industrial 5.0. Since we have industrial revolution 5.0, we should have education 5.0. Our jobs will still be there; they are bringing industrial revolution 5.0 to strike the balance between man and machine. We want to use Industrial Revolution 5.
