Eddy Olanipekun, has urged President Bola Tinubu to key into United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation 26 per cent input into education to revive the dying sector.
“It is very sad that Nigeria is drifting away towards that, but with our President Bola Tinubu who actually knows about law of segregation, somebody who studied in the US, we are hoping that by the grace and God will provide him with the wherewithal needed to actually begin to move towards that direction,” stated Olafeso.
Professor Adedokun, during the lecture titled ‘Adult education, a discipline for all Nations and people: correcting the misconceptions’, noted that finance is a major problem in the execution of adult education programmes, and government must have an adequate budget to make adult education functional and not dormant.
The university don who noted that misconceptions about adult education have a lot of negative impact on students’ enrolment into the discipline called for awareness programmes for admission officers of higher institutions who are in the habit of discouraging students from filling in adult education as their discipline of study.
