“The Federal Govt must form a frantic aim through forcing or compelling our teenage to proceed to college, particularly within the North for the reason that degree of illiteracy is upper than right here within the South, and that is our main disease within the North.
“It is a hour disease, and we wish to take on it presently. They’re simply brainwashed on account of a inadequency of schooling and data.
“So, the current administration under President Tinubu should do something urgently to address it. His government should ensure that these youths are compelled to go to school. It may be technical or vocational skills. If we can do that, it will reduce the level of insecurity if not permanently solved, because an idle hand is a devil’s workshop.” He submitted.
In his remarks, the Nationwide President of the school, Henry Otoibi stated, “At this time, the usual of schooling has long past indisposed. However a few of us had been privileged to have long past via faculty when schooling had price. When schooling was once the pleasure. When oldsters sought after to look their youngsters going to college in order that they may transform helpful voters.
“But over time, the standard deteriorated, and the value system went down. Though we are in the computer age, the digital age, the value we had then is what is still guiding us. In those days, we have teachers that were committed then but I cannot say the level of commitment of teachers of nowadays.”
