NCRIB president enjoins FG to pay attention to education system

The president of Nigerian Council Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB), Mr. Rotimi Edu has declared that a nation where education is valued as formality, and not as pride would remain poor.
The NCRIB helmsman made the assertion on the occasion of the Association’s April edition of members’ evening held recently in Lagos. Quoting Nitin Namedo he stated: ‘’The country where education is valued not as a formality, but as a pride of the country is never poor.’’
In other words, he explained that the poor handling of our educational system in Nigeria was one of the sources of our problems and poverty. Said he, ‘’The country where education is valued not as a formality, but as a pride of the country is never poor.’’
He also stated that personally, he was pained to learn that our students from higher institutions have been shut out of school for the past eight weeks because of strikes by members of Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU).
He observed that with the level of high moral decadence and quick money syndrome bedevilling the society, shutting out students at this period was a serious challenge for our nation. He warned that the nation’s leaders were sitting on a keg of gunpowder that would soon explode.
Mr. Edu therefore enjoined the Federal government to pay closer attention to the issue of the country’s education system, adding that for the sake of the future, the federal government should dialogue with ASUU and meet their demand.
On the political front, he enjoined insurance brokers and others to participate in the electoral process that determines those who will govern us in the coming dispensation. ‘’I passionately appeal to the media to go beyond surface reporting and highlight basic qualities and otherwise of all the candidates without prejudice.
‘’In doing so we would be aiding the process of electing the right persons for the right positions and subsequently entrenching the process of good governance in Nigeria. Let us all shun the politics of bitterness and embrace peace for the development of our nation.
‘’I am convinced that most nations of the world are not as blessed as Nigeria. We only got it wrong in our selection of leaders. I believe if we choose leaders with good ideology, Nigeria can once again bounce back in its economic activities.’’
