Nigerian leaders have been scored low on
education and security as the nation celebrates
her 54th Independence anniversary
As Nigeria celebrates the 54th Independence
Anniversary, the Muslim Students of Nigeria
(MSN), has accused the nation's leaders of
obstructing educational development.
MSN, Lagos State Area Unit, said Nigerian
leaders have not done enough for education,
employment creation and the fight against
corruption.
“Nigerian leaders are obviously the bane of
students and educational development. Fifty-four
years after independence, our academic
institutions still go on strike more than holidays"
the group said in a statement signed by its
President, Kaamil Kalejaiye .
“The mass failure in the just concluded West
Africa Examination Council (WAEC) is just one
of the numerous things to show for our failing
educational system.
The body believes that the leaders' failure is due
to corruption and greed.
“Other countries advanced because their leaders
see positions as a calling and national duty, not
as a means to enrich themselves and their
families," the statement further read.
Kalejaiye said the state of affairs show that
Nigeria is still grappling with postcolonialism and
is therefore not truly independent.
He called for concerted efforts towards fighting
insecurity and corruption, emphasising the
"unimaginable" plight of the Chibok girls.
