Gbajabiamila, an accomplished lawmaker of nearly two decades, a legislator with a passion for investing in the capacity of young people to assume the duty of nation-building in the future, followed up by announcing that his office would organise a summit to x-ray the gamut of drawbacks to tertiary education in Nigeria. It was with a view to proffering legislative solutions to the challenges, in addition to recommendations by participants knowledgeable in the management of higher education.
Between 2019 and 2021, the Gbajabiamila House engaged in a series of “parliamentary diplomacy” to douse the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa, while the Speaker visited Ghana in September 2020 to mediate in the controversial $1million capital requirement for foreign business owners’ crisis, and his successful hosting of the 1st Conference of Speakers and Heads of African Parliaments in May of 2022 to help initiate parliamentary solutions to development challenges in Africa.
As his own contribution to the search for solutions, Speaker Gbajabiamila shared with the audience how he sponsored the Student’s Loan Bill, just passed by the National Assembly, to establish an education bank that would give interest-free loans to indigent students. Proper funding of tertiary education was a suggestion that ran through the length of the summit, though all participants also agreed that funding alone would not automatically address the myriad of problems confronting the system.
