The federal government has accused some northern state governments of alleged mismanagement of the basic education in their stated.
On the state of nomadic education in the country, the minister said the scheme had suffered a similar fate as basic education in several northern states. “I don’t think there’s any governor, who has any good story to say about primary education and nomadic education, the federal government is only making intervention. So, unless we have full cooperation from the states, I think achieving the objectives of nomadic education will take a long time to come. I hope states will change their attitude,” he said.
He stressed that his efforts at the federal level as minister will “amount to nothing if the foundational education system is already rotten.”
When an illiterate person is made education minister what you get is promotion of illiteracy at the expense of education.
