Nigeria’s education system is broken as every other sector – Atiku

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has decried the state of Nigeria’s educational system.

Atiku made this revelation via a tweet while reacting to the 2022 International Literacy Day.

The tweet revealed that, “Regrettably, our education system is as broken as every other sector of our national life.

“There is a nexus between development and literacy—however, our current literacy level cannot drive the envisaged level of development.

“To this end, I plan a reform and massive investment in education”, he twitted.

The presidential candidate has pledged that he would collaborate with state governments, and place more attention on early education which assists one’s ability to read and write.

The Informant247 observes that the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO, has given the theme of the 2022 International Literacy Day as “Transforming Literacy Learning Spaces”.

UNESCO revealed that the theme is to provide the opportunities to rethink the fundamental importance of literacy.
