EDUCATION is obviously the most powerful weapon that can be use to change the world, so says the great freedom fighter and legend, Dr. Nelson Mandela.
.
But how far have we as a people and a nation strived to promote quality and affordable education as a means of changing our great country Nigeria for better? Before now, Nigeria's education system was ranked among the best in the continent of Africa.
.
Then the few public or government schools lived up to expectation in the funding and promotion of good and qualitative education. The country was the better for it and many Nigerians benefitted from it.

But since the inception of private ownership of schools, proliferation has become the order of the day, even though these schools which are purely set up for commercial purposes are often not affordable and fail to offer sound education.
Education should be strong in every single state in Nigeris else we'll end up having illiterates in this country.
