Leaders who benefitted from public schools abandoned them – El-Rufa’i

Governor Nasir el-Rufa’i of Kaduna State weekend in Zaria said a survey by the government conducted showed that Nigerian leaders trained in public schools abandoned such schools, leading to the collapse of public education.

The governor said this during the 25th Annual General Meeting of the Zaria Education Association describing the unfortunate.

He said, “Why is it that in the last 30 years or so various governments, both military and civilian, have failed to invest in education? How comes all of us that were quality products of public education somehow abandoned it? How many of us have enough confidence Development (ZEDA), trend as in our public school system to send our children there?”

He said his government had chosen to make a difference. “We collectively took a decision that no matter what it takes, no matter what it costs, we will restore good public education,” he said.

A former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, said a nation without education had no future, and called investment in education.

The Chairman, ZEDA Board of Trustees, Professor Idris Abdulkadir, enumerated the achievements of the association in the last 25 years, including establishment of 100-seater capacity Digital Training Centre, development of infrastructure, training of over 5,000 youths on various vocations, among others. for
