Kashim Shettima, Nigeria’s Vice President (VP)
Kashim Shettima, Nigeria’s Vice President (VP), has said that the improvements in Nigeria’s education sector under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration demonstrate the administration’s intention to build the country’s global knowledge economy.
According to him, if Nigeria’s universities remain underfunded, they cannot compete globally. He emphasised that continued investment in education is a core pillar of national development and security under President Tinubu’s government, reaffirming the federal government’s commitment to transforming Nigeria’s education sector.
The Vice President added, “Today, there is a shared national understanding that education is the most reliable vehicle for development. It is the nation’s immune system.
“It fuels economic mobility, lifts families out of poverty, strengthens social cohesion, deepens democratic culture, and fortifies national security. It sustains every modern endeavour, from the construction of strong institutions to the building of a strong economy.”
