2023; Hayatu Deen to Reform our Broken Education system
|Nigerian economist and presidential aspirant Mohammed Hayatu Deen (MHD) has promised to reform the broken education system of Nigeria.
Mohammed Hayatu Deen during his visit to delegates and youths of Cross Rivers state on Wednesday said the only way to actually acquire proper knowledge is to reform our schools especially the tertiary institutions.
Our youths need to be a scientific society, do our own research and be able to manufacture drugs. We should be able to identify and anticipate diseases before they become a problem.
MHD said
“Socially what we would like to do is reform our broken education system because you know five to six hundred years ago people relied on their muscles people relied on their raw energy, to go to the farm and till today to make progress in this world you have to have knowledge.
“So, what we have in our heads and our minds is what we want just in the 21st century not we can physically do by dwelling and sweating even though that is important because we have computers and technology and that we have to bring to a knowledgeable society and the only way to achieve knowledge is to reform our schools especially tertiary education.
“I would also like to say to you that health now is a very important subject. If you do not agree with me, just go back to December 2020, with the advent of the corona virus pandemic which in America alone has taken out one million lives.
“One million lives is almost equivalent to about 17 stadiums of 40 thousand people. It’s a lot of people. Nobody needs to lose that number of people. Nigeria was ill prepared we were just fortunate.
“Even though our government has also tried, I must admit but the thing is Nigeria needs to become a scientific society and that we are able to manufacture our own drugs and do our own research and anticipate diseases before they become a problem.”
