Mamman, who spoke, yesterday, during the inauguration of governing councils of federal tertiary institutions in Nigeria, urged the councils to tackle challenges affecting smooth running of universities and collaborate with other stakeholders to ensure seamless process.
He said: “Unknown to a lot of people, the education sector has actually suffered the most in the Japa syndrome than any other sector in Nigeria. We have lost even teachers in primary and secondary schools because of this. They have left to Europe and other places. A lot of times we talk about the medical personnel. But I can confirm to you that we have lost more teachers in Nigeria than any other sector.
According to a 2023 Nigerian Immigration Service report, 3.6 million Nigerians migrated in two years to other countries in search of better opportunities. The minister, who also charged the members to block loopholes and generate ideas that would increase the internally-generated revenues of the universities, said plans had reached an advanced stage in preparations to carry out a complete census of all schools, teachers, and students at all levels of education in Nigeria.
