Nah wah o, e pain me well well as I hear about the wahala wey dey inside Nigeria education system. Access to correct education na key for any country development and e important say leaders make dem dey put their people mata for heart including investing for education.

To solve these problem e go need effort from government and society together to make sure say every pikin get access to correct education no matter their background.

I think education is one of the indicators of advancement and development in a country. It is a key factor that you can use to determine the level of development in our society. What that means is if education is bad, substandard, or not up to par, it is as a result of bad leadership, which also leads to the lack of development in the society.

One key thing to consider is that only a literate society can think about development across all boards, especially to stand the test of time. This has been proven across all historical developmental studies in the past, which show that communities that were more educationally sound brought about more development and civilization. That is why you find countries like the European countries being more powerful than the African countries; it was because education was more prioritized in that part of the world than it was in the African continent. So, those are indices of development that you can use to measure it

The Nigerian education system is a mess,and the fault is from the government.who have no conscience concerning it, because there children are outside the country schooling.how can a lecturer that is impacting knowledge to the student not taking care of,not giving adequate allowance and salaries to take care of them selves they have families too.so when they don't get all this things.they look for a way to make a living so it has to fall to the student.

Now, for the case of Nigeria, you cannot be so excited about the start-to-score because development is tied to our level of education. So far, our educational system is poor as you compare it to international standards. We are not really performing as a country, especially considering Nigeria as the giant of Africa. It should be showcased. That is why you find situations where students are flying out of the country to countries like Sudan, Equatorial Guinea, Uganda, amongst other African countries, rather than staying in Nigeria, because they have lost the confidence that should be reposed in education. And because the government is not taking the leadership role to moderate, coordinate, and ensure that people have a sense of belonging and justice in the education system, it has now worsened.

The government shows less concern because they send their children to study abroad or in private institutions where they will be no such challenge like strike. The lecturers who have always see that the only way to survive is to sell hand outs and come up with some other expenses on students is over doing it, forgetting that it is not every student that can afford it. ASSU as a body is not even helping matters for their lecturers because they are not fighting for the body ASSU, but for their personal interest. Corruption has eaten this country very deep.

Let me wrap this up with an example, which is the number of Nigerian students that were found to be enrolled in quack universities in Benin Republic. Now, by level of resources and history, Nigerian students are not expected to choose Benin Republic as a new option over studying at home in Nigeria but because the education system has deteriorated, and the government is not taking charge. This is due to the lack of infrastructural development, equipment, and manpower.

You find situations where there are not enough lecturers and resource people to teach, and there are also no world-class materials available for lecturers to use to educate their students at schools. This has made many parents take the decision to send their children out of the country to get a better education. And this scenario is reflected in the report that the journalist gave about how studying engineering in public schools is available and so on. So, we need to learn from that aspect and understand that education is sine qua non to development
