President Muhammadu Buhari says a person can’t succeed outside his personal educational qualification, adding that anybody who misses education has missed everything.
Buhari also stated that Nigerian parents are making sacrifices to ensure that their children get educated.
The President said this during a panel discussion at the Global Education Summit in London.
Buhari said the size and population of Nigeria are challenges for any administration, but despite this, the government and people realise that education is the starting point for success.
He added that no Nigerian parent jokes with education, as they know that if their children or wards missed the opportunity of being educated, they have missed a lot.
Also on the panel were Presidents Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana, Faure Gnassingbe of Togo, Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya, and Lazarus Chakwera of Malawi.
Each President spoke on the peculiarities of the education sector of his country, and how budgetary allocations would be increased to ameliorate the situation.
