Delivering an incisive keynote address at the International conference, Professor of Education Management from University Benin, Kola Adeyemi, dissected the prevailing security situation pervading the country. Speaking on the conference theme “Managing Education for Achieving Global Security and Sustainable Development”, he opined that sustainable development is any development that attends to and meets the needs of today without jeopardizing or compromising the ability of the future generation. According to the university don, insecurity negates any form of development and must be tackled headlong. Professor Adeyemi underscored the importance of education in proffering solutions to the myriad of problems posed by insecurity by stating rightly that all over the world, education is perceived to be a game changer.
Speaking at the conference and reacting to questions and contributions posed by the audience after the keynote address, Professor Peter Okebukola absolved government of blame in the falling standard of education in the country. According to the former NUC boss, “Government is not to blame for the poor state of education in Nigeria, the bulk of the blame rests squarely on all of us”. He decried the continuous aiding and abetting of corrupt practices going on in our schools as a result of the inordinate desires of parents to see their wards succeed at all cost. Until the moral fabric of our society is restored, we will keep turning in circles regarding delivering quality and effective education in our country, Okebukola adduced.
