May 25, 2023Nigeria’s education minister Adamu Adamu on Thursday confessed that he knew nothing about the sector when he was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari.Speaking at a valedictory session held in his honour with the ministry’s officials and heads of parastatals in Abuja, Adamu thanked Buhari for trusting him with such a responsibility that he was not prepared for.
Adamu said he called some people to assist him work on a policy document on education because he was a novice in the sector. There were strike actions embarked on by university lecturers, under the aegis of the Academic Staff Union of Universities that went on for months under the supervision of Adamu as education minister.
