Author:Toyin Falola, professor of history at the University of Texas, says Nigerian educational institutions should look into ways of encouraging graduates to imbibe practical skills beyond their certificates.
Speaking on the lecture titled ‘The Comfort of Faith, The Insurgency of Hope, The Promise of Success’, he said there is a need for the government to address the “declining” interest of youths in seeking quality education, since without education, it will be difficult for the country to experience sustainable growth.
“Unfortunately, in its case, the Nigerian society has been setting a dangerous precedent. Over the years, we have seen a decline in the willingness and motivation of Nigerians to seek quality education. Even amongst the small majority that still desires it, it is often perfunctory and mainly aimed at the certifications and grades that can afford them economic empowerment.
“Education is central to the achievement of the previously discussed levers of proper social engineering, and has been described by scholars as to be the most effective tool of social engineering used anywhere in the world. If properly executed, education can be utilised to instill in citizens, especially the younger ones, the desirable tenets and traits that will spur the nation to greatness.
