Utomi stated this on the sideline of a ‘Book Roundtable Discourse and Award 2022’ organised by the Flannel Business School (FBS), in Lagos, recently.

“If we do that, we will get quality products that will transit to both the secondary and tertiary levels’’.

However, the situation in the country now is what we can describe as ‘garbage in, garbage out.’’

Utomi, therefore, advocated that primary education should be run by the local government which is the closest to the people and for parents to have better input.

He said those who make decisions for university education in Nigeria for example are far from the people who are at the grassroots, adding that “to worsen the situation, most of them don’t send their children to Nigerian universities.”

He said that was why they gave series of excuses why the government could not afford to fund education as it should.

The scholar explained further that it was disturbing that the industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) could linger this far, blaming the people with the country’s resources for the development.
