Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari's administration of not investing enough resources in developing the country’s education sector.
Speaking at a ceremony hosted by American University of Nigeria on Saturday in Yola, capital of Adamawa, the former Vice President described education as"a pathway to exit the dubious record of being the world's headquarters of extreme poverty". Atiku pointed that Buhari's less than 10 per cent budgetary allocation to education was below the 15 per cent minimum recommended for developing countries by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation.He said,"The reason why the country is experiencing insecurity is because of poverty which is the product of illiteracy and it is a cycle that the country can only break by educating the citizenry.
atiku MBuhari Atiku is no different from PMB. Him and OBJ, had their chance of turning the country around for better, but they did not. PMB, is just maintaining the Status quo but in a different dimension. No mercy for this old heads leading us to no where.

atiku MBuhari I agree with Atiku. Inspectors of education, instead of doing their job as inspection officers, they go about taking bribes from proprietors of private schools to the detriment of our kids. Either, they need enough funding to do their job adequately or someone should be held
