The Chancellor, Landmark University, Omu-Aran, Kwara, Bishop
David Oyedepo, has advocated review of the nation’s education system for
Nigeria to achieve the desired transformation.
The chancellor made the call on Friday in Omu-Aran at the
Graduation, Prize Given Day and Public Lecture to commemorate the 50 years
anniversary of Government Secondary School, Omu-Aran.
Oyedepo, also an old boy of the school, stressed the
importance of quality education in the life of any society and its people.
The cleric said that only a standard and formidable
education system could help to hasten Nigeria’s much desired socio-economic
recovery, growth and development.
He expressed the need for the leaders to facilitate
formidable platform, through the education sector, to enable youths acquire
improved education to prepare them toward taking up leadership role in the
future in the country.
“Wherever goes quality education there goes civilisation and
socio-economic development.
“Egypt was once leading in education and at the same time
leading in civilisation. The people from Europe were going to Egypt to learn
Architecture, Geometry and Archaeology.
“There is no substitute to quality education in the recovery
process of any nation like ours,” he said.
