HE Pro-chancellor/Chairman of the Governing Council, University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), Kayode Olubunmi Ojo, an engineer, has advocated for more investment in the education sector by all tiers of government as a credible way of restoring and regaining Nigeria’s educational glory and recognition.
According to him, such investments in the education sector would ensure that adequate facilities and modern infrastructure are provided to aid good learning and teaching.
Ojo made the advocacy at the university’s 54th convocation ceremony for the first degree and Post graduates degrees as well as honorary degree conferment on worthy individuals.
He stated that the problems plaguing Nigerian higher institutions were enormous, ranging from acute lack of facilities to infrastructural decay.
He noted that the dearth of facilities could potentially stifle the development of education in the country.
Ojo, however, expressed optimism that UNN would benefit immensely under the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the areas of infrastructural renewal, provision of modern facilities and adequate funding for research and innovations.
