Yoruba elders tell Buhari to save Nigeria by revamping education, security, others
The stakeholders, who spoke one after the other on Wednesday in Lagos, raised the alarm over the quality of education in Nigeria, expressing concern that until government place premium on education, research and innovation, Nigeria will continue to be a dream not realised.
He said: “Compare two economies – in one the raw materials are exported with no added value, while needed manufactured goods are imported. Thus is buying high, selling low, which leads to loss of wealth. Others were The Polytechnic of Ibadan, University of Ibadan, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Lagos State University, Ojoo and University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos.
“I am 92 now, I want to challenge the younger generation here present to take their destiny into their hands. There is little to what I can do, the energy is no longer there. I want you to take the bull by the horn. Take Nigeria back from the hands of your oppressors and build a society that will make you proud among your fellow young people in the global economy,” he said.
