Dr.  Abdulfatah Ahmed has said Nigeria must be ready to restructure its education to match its goal for national development.Ahmed, stated this yesterday , in Ibadan, while delivering a pre-Independence day lecture, tagged: “Nigeria at 55: The gains, the pains, the prospects”, organised by the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Oyo State council, at NUJ Press Centre, Iyaganku, Ibadan.

He said Nigeria is a conglomerate and not a nation, adding that until Nigerian leaders are ready to practically restructure the economy through a functional educational background, the country will continue to revolve on a single spot. He further stated that If a country must achieve its full economy and social capital, it must significantly improve its human capital development, especially, in terms of functional education.

He also added that with the high level of youths unemployment where most of the graduates are unemployable, Nigeria cannot achieve its lofty prospect for greatness “unless we reform our educational system in line with our technological and economic goal as a nation.’’
