There’s also not enough deliberate intention to invest in education, a lot of lip service being paid to it, but not enough going into the sector. Secondly, there’s a disconnection between where the world actually is where we are. Education is now technology led globally and you could see that happening after COVID. We couldn’t go to school.

For any country that wants to be a major player in world affairs going forward you must be leading in technology.

These are the questions that they need to address urgently”, he said.NYSC Portal
