Atiku Abubakar, a former Vice President
Atiku Abubakar, a former Vice President and the chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, has identified the cause of insecurity and systemic decay as the neglect of the education sector.
The chieftain said this at the 17th Annual Founder’s Day of the American University of Nigeria, Yola, Adamawa State, on Saturday, November 21, 2025.
He stated, “The crass disregard for education inflicted upon us by the current and successive governments since 2007 has transformed what could have been a vibrant future into a bleak landscape. The most insidious threat of all comes not from the visible chaos unleashed by armed groups but from the far deeper neglect of our education, health, and human development services.”
Atiku further stated that neglecting human development is not only a threat to the present but also to the future.
