CurrentReport Blog In a fervent plea to President Bola Tinubu, the Muslim Media Watch Group of Nigeria (MMWG) has sounded the alarm over the perilous state of the country’s education sector. Citing a litany of grievances, including unpaid salaries and governmental negligence, the MMWG implores the administration to take decisive action before the situation worsens.
Expressing dismay over what it terms “open and shameful neglect,” the MMWG emphasizes the urgent need for President Tinubu’s administration to prioritize the education sector. Drawing a parallel with past administrations, the group highlights the damaging impact of governmental apathy on Nigeria’s educational landscape.
With fresh threats of strikes looming, the MMWG underscores the gravity of the situation, urging swift intervention from governmental authorities. Specifically, the group calls upon the Minister of Education and the Minister of State to address the grievances of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) without delay, thereby averting further disruption to the educational system.
Furthermore, the MMWG denounces the failure of several states to access funds earmarked for educational development, exposing a troubling trend of lip service to education. By neglecting their obligation to provide counterpart funding, state governors perpetuate inequality within the education system, depriving countless students of access to quality schooling.
