Former Head of State, retired Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, has attributed ineffective leadership in the country to the inability of government to provide effective education for Nigerians.
.
He said this in Zaria on Saturday at a conference with the theme "Uniting our People for Change'' organised by a group called "Movement for a Better Future''.
.
"The biggest problem of this ineffective leadership in Nigeria is education.
.
"If you deny people effective education, you have finished them.
.
"Education is a vital tool for human existence and development.
.
"God has given Nigeria both material and human resources but we have not used them effectively.
.
"We have failed to organise ourselves to harness these resources.
.
"We have been talking about Sardaunana, Awolowo, Azikwe and Tafawa Balewa as great leaders; why can't we emulate them," Buhari asked.
Poor education has been a problem for a very long time now and yet no solution is forthcoming. I hope GEJ would do something....
