According to him, inadequate investment in education is a significant challenge confronting the country.
former executive secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Peter Okebukola, has appealed to the federal government to prioritise quality education through more investment in the education system in 2025.
Mr Okebukola made the appeal while speaking with journalists on Sunday in Ota, Ogun.
According to him, inadequate investment in education is a significant challenge confronting the country.
This development, he said, was a major contributor to poor outcomes in terms of literacy, skills development, and economic growth.
The former NUC boss noted that low investment in education also hindered national development and kept Nigeria dependent on foreign expertise and technology.
“Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, but its investment in education is relatively low compared to its population size and needs,” he said.
Mr Okebukola explained that when leaders fail to prioritise quality education, they inhibit the ability of citizens to innovate, think critically, and compete on the global stage.
According to him, this creates a population that may feel intellectually inferior to other countries.
