Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>House of Representatives Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, has repeated his call for the repositioning of tertiary education in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The Speaker stated that the current state was worrisome and required drastic measures.<\/p>\n

Gbaja spoke in Abuja on Tuesday at the National Summit on Tertiary Education Reform organized by his office.<\/p>\n

The Lagos lawmaker said Nigeria\u2019s greatest resource was not oil nor mineral deposits, but the people.<\/p>\n

He stressed that to achieve greatness, the government at all levels must invest in the citizens.<\/p>\n

Gbajabiamila recalled how many foreigners travelled to the country to study in different universities.<\/p>\n

Some Nigeria\u2019s tertiary institutions, he noted, used to be on the same level with the best institutions in the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a time when our brothers and sisters from across Africa and even farther away sought out our institutions. That time is no more.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt used to be that a student admitted to the university knew the date of their graduation and graduated on that day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must improve our education infrastructure and provide the right training for young people from primary through tertiary education,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
