Rising Unemployment Can Wipe Out Nigeria, Elites Unsafe – Chris Ngige
Speaking during the programme, Ngige said, “I know that because I schooled here in Nigeria. I did my primary education, secondary and university here and I did my post-graduate outside the country. But I can tell you, in other climes education is not only done by government.
“The state of education here is not anything to cheer about, I agree. The standard has fallen, I agree. But education cannot be funded by Government alone.”
