Our leader has been a great procrastinator too. On November 13, 2017, the Buhari administration organised a remarkable Retreat on education tagged “Federal Executive Council Retreat on Education”, which was widely reported even in this column as “Lesson Notes on Buhari’s Retreat on Education” . As I had reported then, the well-organised event reinforced faith in the capacity of the administration to get to the roots of lack of progress in all spheres and indeed mediocrity in all our ways.

Osinbajo said the implementation document should also reflect elements that developed economies now leverage on, notably the science, technology, engineering and mathematics “even as we note that the humanities are as important”.

Besides, he would like the final document to include the all-important issue of “education for citizenship” as most children today lack knowledge of history, civic education and how to be good citizens.
Emergency on education? When there's no money to steal without the educationists to question them. This Govt is less concern about anywhere there's no money to steal.
