1. Figure is not recent, figure was pre 2015. Stop spreading lies, as a PhD holder, you should report facts based on research. 2. You do not have much knowledge about Education in Nigeria. 3. The enrollment figures have actually gone up due to FG's intervention.
4. You have not been following the ministry's activities but as usual you are quick to castigate the minister from the comfort of your bed at home.
5. The minister gives weekend briefings which are available on the ministries website. Go and update yourself with his activities
For example, this a text from a weekend briefing where he stated that FG will provide insurance cover for students in Unity schools so that nothing will stop their education. E.g Death, bankruptcy of parents and guardian will not stop their education.
This is another briefing on the award of contracts for the installation of cctvs in Unity schools..
Let me also tell you that primary and secondary education is under the control of the state so your questions should be directed more at the Governors.
Inspite of that the minister has released Subec funds to support basic education at state level which several governors have refused to access due to their unwillingness to pay counterpart fund.
The minister has also pushed for Primary and secondary education to be removed from the control of Governors who do not prioritize it. Most of them have not built a classroom, employed teacher or train them in 4 years. They don't care..
He has also pushed for an Education bank similar to Bank of Industries to provide educational loans to students, fund education, authors, mobilize Grant's from public and private enterprise and much more.
The minister also organized competency tests for teachers, something that had not been done in a long while.
Have you also heard about the Bilateral Education Agreement program? A scholarship agreementwith other countries to support education.
Did you hear about the personnel audits of schools nationwide? The last one was done in 2010!
His Ministry has embarked on this audit to sort of personnel / staffing issues.
Are you not happy with Jamb? He Ended the BSc / HND dichotomy. “The HND certificate will remain a legal tender in Nigeria and holders of such certificate will continue to be recognised as the equivalent of first degree holders without discriminatory..
remunerations and limit to progression in the work place.
Have you heard about the exploits of NUC, improvements in the accreditation exercise and increase in the number of courses accredited.
Is this not under his Ministry?
Have you read his National Polytechnic reform? The bill he sent to the executive on how Yaba Tech and Kad poly as pilot polytechnics will be restructured to award degrees and only technical courses will be offered in polytechnics.
Have you read the National Teacher Development Policy yet to be implemented by states? He has been shouting that states should implement it..
How can you say the Minister is sleeping when you are apparently too lazy to follow his activities. Adamu Adamu, a man who works on weekends..
I suggest you stop misinforming the public deliberately, you are smarter than that.
People like you are used to noise and less action. You find it difficult to praise silent achievers.
How do you then encourage the youths you gather every now and then to seek knowledge when you cannot do so yourself?
We have congenital problems with the way education is structured in Nigeria, from funding to control and Quality Assessment but do not come here to spread lies about what you do not know. This is the only minister that has taken concrete steps to address these issues.
You do not appear to be passionate about Nigeria, you are more interested in retweets. You have been tweeting about ASUU for days but if I ask you about the latest discussion on all their demands, you do not know.
Why they embarked on the strike action you don't have a clue.

The treacherous currents of Yoruba politics is out again as usual. The two possible presidential candidates from the South west have become objects of ridicule in the media / social by Yorubas. The Yorubas are the ones setting the fire. Anyim Pius, Orji Kalu, Dave Umahi...
Have declared for the same position and we haven't seen such attacks coming from their zone or the South South. The northerners will support their candidate without any grudge and they are watching the silliness unfold. The South East will solidly queue behind their party...
Yorubas are the ones running from one TV station to another cooking up propaganda. The VP enjoys greater affection from the Northerners compared to the Yorubas. Even as a Christian, its hard to hear anyone preach against him in the North. Here in the S'west, pastors rubbish him..
Imperial college Union | Alumni keeps sending mails, schedule of events, activities etc. They have established a bond with me in 14 months.
University of Ilorin where I was trained for 7 years and got my MBBS degree does not know if I still exist.
Imperial needs me to contribute to the College, University of Ilorin doesn't care. I can comfortably give University of Ilorin 200k per annum from the little I have. My siblings attended University of Ilorin and they can comfortably donate as well, at least a N1,000,000 from us.
There are lots of Unilorin Alumni at home and abroad and I am sure the school can raise billions of Naira. ASUU is dragging the FG for N1.3trn revitalization fund, ASUU knows that N1.3trn is a dream even if they go on strike for 30 years, they won't get it.
While I was at SS Hospital Akure, a case of rabies with clinical symptoms was rushed to the emergency. Aggression, hyperactivity, excessive yawning. He stood by the door and kept staring at me for over 3 mins without blinking. At that point I was afraid and I wanted to japa.
For most doctors, a case of rabies can never be forgotten. I started questioning the relatives but none of them disclosed that he was bitten by a dog. A nurse who understood the local dialect was the one who confronted them after she overheard them discussing it.
So I called the relatives and told them that the guy was going to die. This is "digbolugi" no going back from here. They started speaking in tongues and they rebuked me. They called a pastor who arrived on an okada with several oils to come and perform miracles.
August 1 1999, Jagaban attempted to break the monopoly of NEPA with an IPP in Lagos, a 290MW private sector funded power project with Yinka Folawiyo power Limited. This singular move would have transformed power generation in Nigeria. Instead the FG, Obasanjo and NEPA fought him
The model was simple, the IPP would generate power, send it to the National grid, NEPA will receive, transmit and distribute the power. Lagos will determine the final consumers and also market the power generated. The target areas were the business districts, industrial areas
Commercial zones, public places and residential homes. Jagaban agreed to contribute 21% of the monthly power purchase agreement bills if all the power generated would be distributed to Lagos. He further instructed the ministry of finance to debit his allocation directly...
Nigerians hate facts, they allow emotions to top logical reasoning. This is the reason why politicians and religious leaders prey on numerous gullible minds. A pastor was said to have healed a man who couldn't walk, the man started doing "leg work" dance on stage.
Zanku, pocodance and Legwork require intense practice even for those with complete limbs. Did the Holy spirit teach him the legwork immediately after the miracle? The Zanku and legwork manual was downloaded alongside the miraculous healing of his limbs..
Abacha died and without an autopsy report to confirm the cause of death, people started spreading rumors about two Indian prostitutes who fed him apples. MKO drank tea as well. Up till today, we don't know the circumstances surrounding their death.
Cote d'Ivoire is not a small West African country, this is the attitude we have towards Franco-phone neighbours that makes them hate Nigeria and Nigerians. Cote d' Ivoire became a republic before Nigeria. Diplomatic engagement is not determined by size...
It's is hinged on mutual benefit and bi-lateral relationship. It is easier for Nigeria to engage China, UK, India and the EU than for us to engage Burundi. Nigeria has repatriation and prisoner swap agreements with several countries outside West Africa and Africa.
The most difficult countries to engage are those who don't care about you. We keep looking at these African countries as if we are a giant that we can bully and that's why they act difficult always. What can you do to Cote d'ivoire? Which bilateral relationship exists between us?
