A book: ‘Education In Nigeria: Perspectives For A Changing World’, written by former Education Director, Dennis Okoro, was recently launched in Lagos.
The 358-page book, which is divided into 14 sections, “analyses the Nigerian educational system, as it stands today and draws attention to any potential problems.
“It includes constructive criticisms, comments, suggestions and data to help make Nigeria more poised to transform its current education system, at the same time accommodate a very complex and uncertain future.”
Okoro said he was inspired to write the book while having a conversation with an expatriate.
“I was at the Argungu Fishing Festival some years back, and while having a conversation with an expatriate, he encouraged me to document my experiences and ideas on the Nigerian educational system. Lucky for me, the COVID-19 lockdown provided the perfect opportunity for me to put my thoughts together and write the book,” he said.
Present at the book launch were Prince Julius Adelusi-Adeluyi; Dr. Ernest .C. Ndukwe; Chief Charles Ifeanyi; Retired Justice Eteubong Charles Archibong; Folashade Omo-Eboh; Monsignor John Aniagwu; Nathaniel Okoro, and Chief Femi Adeniyi-Williams.
Okoro is currently the Director, MTN Foundation. He has also held various positions in the Nigerian education public service; Adviser, Primary Education, Director, Federal Inspectorate Services and Director Educational Support Services in Nigeria.
