A former Governor of Osun State and National leader of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Adebisi Akande, has called for holistic migration from traditional ways of doing things in the country’s educational institutions.
The APC chieftain also advised universities to avoid producing graduates that cannot add value to the economy.
Akande said such was necessary to avert the risk of being left behind in global competitiveness.
The APC chieftain spoke at his Ila-Orangun, Osun State residence while receiving the institution’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. Babatola Ayodele, and other principal officers.
Akande said, “If you want global competition, you can’t wait. Universities should avoid producing graduates that cannot add value to the economy.
“Award of degrees without relevant skills required for national growth and economic development should be discouraged in the Nigerian educational curriculum.
Going to school is not work, but the beginning of learning how to work.
