Nigeria’s Education Sector Hitting
Brickwall Under Tinubu - Experts

Country Accounts For
STAKEHOLDERS in the Nigerian educa on sector have lamented the increasing decay of the sector under President Bola Tinubu’s administra on, sta ng that it has not received the deserved a en on in the last two years.
In separate interviews with OSUN DEFENDER over the weekend, the stakeholders including teachers, parents, school owners, students, among others decried the situaon, stressing that educaon had witnessed more
decline under the present administra on than of his predecessors.
They also lamented the poor welfare for teachers, delay in release of subven on, and connuous decline in several processes that had contributed posi vely to the growth of educa on.
A 2024 report by the United Na ons Educa on Children’s Fund (UNICEF) puts the number of outof-school children in Nigeria to more than 10.5 million, under President Tinubu’s administra on.
The alarming rate, ac-
cording to the global body, also accounts for 15% of the world’s popula on of out-of-school children.
Findings by OSUN DEFENDER revealed that some of the factors responsible for the huge number include but are not limited to early/child marriage, economic barriers, conflict, socio-cultural norms, and lack of inclusive policies/prac ces in schools.
“1 in 3 children are OOS in Nigeria: 10.2 million at the primary level and 8.1 million at the junior secondary school
(JSS) level 1. 12.4 million children never a ended school and 5.9 million le school early. Nigeria’s OOS popula on accounts for 15% of the global total,” according to data on the UNICEF website.
Speaking with OSUN DEFENDER, an educaonist, Prof. Taiwo Adisa adduced the deteriorating rate of educa on in the country, to the lack of conscious government direc on to improving the situa on.

APC Hoodlums Attack Three ADC Chieftains, Injure Several Members In One Week
IN the space of one week, three chieftains and several members of the African Democra c Congress (ADC) were a acked by hoodlums allegedly working for the All Progressives Congress.
The chie ains who were a acked between August 30 and September 06 are former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai, Former Minister of Jusce and A orney General of the Federa on, Abubakar Malami, and former Labour Party gubernatorial candidate in Lagos, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.
The latest of the attacks came last Saturday when thugs numbering over 50 stormed the
second venue booked by the ADC for the defec on of the former LP gubernatorial candidate in Lagos State to the party.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that the event was ini ally scheduled to take place in the Alimosho area of the state. However, secu-
rity opera ves barred Rhodes-Vivour and his supporters from gaining access to the venue on Saturday morning, despite ge ng approval to use the venue.
Despite securing another place for the programme, the heavilyarmed thugs came in, harassed people, and in
the process, injured the personal photographer of the ADC chie ain who was macheted.
However, despite efforts to stop the defecon, the ADC loyalists and supporters stood their ground.
Speaking during the

ary Matricula on Examina on (UTME) and West African Senior School Cer ficate Examina ons (WASSCE), stressed that Nigerians are red of such developments, capable of further mauling the system.
“It is sad to say that Nigeria is currently in a comatose. It is a sad trend that all of the indicators to measure the growth of educa on in the country is on a decline. When we ask ques ons, they will say they are giving loans.
“Loans that are not pivotal or making any impact or effect on the schools. It is on record that it is under this administra on that students are writing WAEC at night. Many students failed JAMB this year because of glitches. Examina on malprac ce is on the increase. So, where have they done well?”
Corrobora ng him, a re red headmistress, Mrs Busola Olowookere affirmed that the present administra on at the federal level is not doing enough to improve the lot of the country’s educa on system.
Olowookere pointed
out that while the Tinubuled government is providing more alloca on for state and local governments which manage the primary and post-primary levels, its weak monitoring has con nued to cripple the system.
“The current federal government is only giving states and local governments monies but has failed to monitor and that’s why educa on is there. The system is lacking in direc on, monitoring, supervision, management and even; policy somersaults.
“Educa on has moved beyond where we are in this country. Things are bad from every level you look at it. From dilapidated structures to ineffecve welfare packages to the teachers and lecturers.
“There is a lot of work to be done and I hope the government can swing to ac on as soon as possible. If things con nue this way, our educa on system may be the worst in Sub-Saharan Africa,” the ex-headmistress noted.
Defending his administra on, President Tinubu said his administra on allocated a record ₦3.52 trillion to educa on in the 2025 federal budget — a 61.47% increase from the previous year — to improve the quality of educa on.
The President stated that through targeted policies and strategic investments in educa on, his administra on has ini ated transforma ve changes aimed at inclusivity, skill acquisi on, datadriven planning, and quality engagement.

declara on, RhodesVivour described the move as part of a broader coali on.
He said, “I am happy to become part of this family. I’m looking forward to the union and governance that this party will bring to Nigerians. My prayer is that God will grant our leaders and the party’s structure the wisdom to come together and define a new path for our beloved country.”
The poli cian also called for unity among opposi on par es ahead of the 2027 general elec ons.
“This is a coali on that is meant to rescue Nigeria. I have said since a er the 2023 elec ons that we cannot afford to divide the opposi on going into the next elecon. We must come together, united through a robust coali on that will stand a chance in 2027 to deliver this country,” he added.
The Chairman of the ADC in the state, George Ashiru, said the move signalled the strengthening of an opposi on coali on ahead of the 2027 general elec ons.
He also described Rhodes-Vivour’s defecon as a historic affirmaon of a coali on that had been in the works since the last elec on.
He said, “Today we are having one of the most important affirmaon programmes where our coali on partners from one of the key blocs in the Labour Party are joining this wonderful family of Nigerians, the African Democra c Congress.
“We are not affirming one man, we are affirming a movement, but every movement has a leader, and what brother Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour represents is the leadership of a movement that shook Lagos in the last elecon.”
OSUN DEFENDER reports that violence broke out on Saturday, August 30, at the inaugura on of a transi on commi ee jointly set up by opposi on par es in Kaduna State, as armed thugs stormed the venue, a acking parcipants and destroying property.
The commi ee comprised members of an APC fac on opposed to the state leadership
alongside PDP, SDP, NNPP, Labour Party, and ADC.
The hoodlums, armed with cutlasses, clubs, and stones, disrupted the launch, injuring several people and damaging vehicles. Despite the chaos, the event con nued under tense condi ons.
Former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, who a ended the gathering, condemned the attack, describing it as “a dangerous descent into lawlessness.”
He alleged that senior police officers, including an Assistant Commissioner of Police, “stood by and watched” as the violence escalated.
Similarly, on September 02, armed thugs suspected to be loyalists of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) unleashed violence on the convoy of Abubakar Malami in Kebbi State.
The a ack le about 10 vehicles badly damaged while several supporters of the former minister sustained varying degrees of injuries.
Malami, who now leads the African Democra c Congress (ADC) in the state, confirmed the incident, stressing that his mission in Birnin Kebbi had nothing to do with poli cs.
According to him, he was returning from a
condolence visit to the Emir of Gwandu and the family of late Imam Tukur Kola in Birnin Kebbi when his convoy was “violently a acked near my private residence by poli cal thugs that emerged from State APC headquarters posioned very close to my residence.”
He narrated, “Stones and dangerous objects were hurled at us, ve-
hicles were damaged, and several people sustained injuries, including fractures.
“What is most disturbing is that this was not an isolated act of hooliganism. Evidence clearly points to a poli cally orchestrated attack, allegedly funded and coordinated by powerful figures who have abandoned governance at the altar of do-

or-die poli cs.
“The presence of the APC party stalwarts and close rela ons of the Governor were visibly no ced on site when the a ack was being perpetrated.
“The presence of security personnel did not help ma ers as the thugs moved into the party headquarters for apparent cover and no arrest was eventually
made. There was deliberate inac on.”
Many Nigerians, who have taken to the mainstream and social media to condemn the incidents, urged the ruling All Progressives Congress APC not to attempt to silence the opposi on by a acking its members, but focus on the delivery of its electoral mandate to the people.

Telecom Companies Urged Against
Mast Falling, Oil Spillage In Osun
Yusuf Oketola
TELECOMMUNICA TION Companies opera ng in Osun state have been urged to guide against the rampant mast falling, oil spillages on mast sites and noisy power genera ng Set.
The appeal was made by Ms. Morenike GeorgeTaylor, Director of Operaons and Project Management at Global Transac ons Nigeria Limited while speaking with
journalists in Osogbo recently on the importance of environmental impact assessment reports for masts in the state.
George-Taylor explained that the rate of mast falling and the noisy pollu on was too alarming.
According to her, “ We hear the news of masts falling, oil spillages on mast sites and noisy generators. Protec ng the environment, whether from noise pollu on,
contamina on or otherwise is something that should concerns us all.
“It’s about keeping our homes, our families, and our future safe. in Osun State, the telecommunica ons industry has grown rapidly, bringing us be er connec vity and opening doors for economic opportunies. However, with this growth also comes the responsibility to make sure that our progress does not harm the environment or the people who live in our communi es.
“We have had incidents where masts are falling and this has an impact on the host community. This is why we have NESREA and why telecommunications companies are required to carry out Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) before masts are erected.”
that the coali on is on course to rescue Nigeria from its current state.
Aregbesola, while addressing stakeholders of Omoluabi Progressives in Ilesa, on Sunday, reiterated that the ADC is the party to beat in the upcoming elec ons in the country.
He also urged them to work assiduously to boost the party’s membership drive, as well as, galvanise the electorate to parcipate in the ongoing Con nuous Voter Registra on (CVR) exercise.
His words, “I want to assure you all that we are in the process of solidifying the leadership structure of our party at the na onal level. We are almost through. Once we complete that, we will move to the zones, states and other levels. We have done a lot of work and we can assure you that there is no cause for alarm.
“The major thing for us to do as we progesss is to galvanise more people to par cipate in the ongoing Con nuous Voter Registra on. It is as important as the journey ahead. We are the team to beat, but we must not fold our arms to ensure that our aim to return true responsible leadership to our state and country comes to frui on.
“We are commi ed to restoring a People Friendly Government (PFG) that advances the growth of the society and makes life more abundant for our people,” the immediate past Minister of Interior noted.
Earlier in his remark, Chairman, Omoluabi Progressives, Alhaji Azeez Adesiji, said the party is fully on ground in the state.
“I also want you to ignore the naysayers. We should not be de ered at all. We are not bothered by what the detractors are saying because the people are with us.
•Leaders of Omoluabi Progressives, during the stakeholders meeting in Ilesa, yesterday
THE Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Kunle Adegoke (KRAD) has s rred the hornets nest. In an interview on Arise Television, there appears to be an inference that, as of now, monies have been handed over surrepously from the Central Bank of Nigeria into the hands of people who have not yet been sa sfied by the Supreme Court of Nigeria to handle local government funds in Osun State.
It is to be hoped that this is a misstep, for it is inconceivable that the Central Bank would either contradict or preempt whatever judgment the Supreme Court is about to give. There’s a disturbing issue here, the independence of the country’s Central Bank must be jealously guarded and the Central Bank sequestered from poli cal interference. The history of world since the end of the second world War in 1945 shows on ambiguously that the more independent the Central Bank is the be er the fiscal stability of the economy.
It is unfortunate that all this is
From Tragedy To Farce....... Osun State
Bizzare
Local Government Imbroglio!
happening. We believe that the Supreme Court should have been more proac ve and speedy. In the last week, we have seen how it took only 36 days for a court in Finland to rule on the issue of Samuel Ekpa.
On the contrary, the trial of Nnamdi Kanu in Nigeria seems to have taken on the toga of a longrunning saga. We should really avoid this sort of thing. Perhaps what Nigeria needs today is a
cons tu onal court where matters such as this originate and terminate.
Frankly speaking, this new development is deeply disturbing. Grounding the local governments in Osun State has an economic effect. There are a whole host of permits that people need for everyday economic ac vi es, but they are not ge ng these permits right now because the local governments are not func oning,
“Frankly speaking, this new development is deeply disturbing. Grounding the local governments in Osun State has an economic effect”
and nobody knows who is in control. This has a devasta ng effect par cularly on the informal sector which is the biggest employment generator and should be the engine room of the economy.
Once again, we ask all actors to come together and let us sort out this issue. In a democracy, local governments are very cri cal. In fact, in a proper federa on, they take on the toga of being the engine room of development, crystallizing capital forma on and economic ac vity from the base upwards, not the other way round, as we appear to have now in our malfunc oning quasi-federalism.
The Economic Consequences Of The President’s Travels
Alot has been said and debated in the past few days about the President’s “Working Travel” abroad to Paris and London. The President, of course, has the right enshrined in the 1999 Cons tu on to travel and nobody is dispu ng it. But we must look at the economic fallout and the consequences of constant foreign travels especially during working leave for the President.
If we look out at what other countries have done, it makes one wonder why we con nue with what looks like a new colonial mindset, sixty-five years a er poli cal independence. We must look at the economic consequences as well as the psychological effect of this constant traveling abroad on the Na on’s collec ve self-esteem and the way it projects itself to the world. Nigeria, as even a toddler knows, has a crucial balance of payments crisis. The naira is trading at an abysmal rate of N1,500 to the dollar, a far cry from what it ought to be. This does not look like coming down substan ally any me soon.
There are frankly speaking, serious consequences to this, as we can see from high food infla on and the pricing out of the middle class from many of the goods which the middle class should be purchasing. This will help economic ac vity par cularly in the manufacturing sector.
It also affects the cost of building materials which further stymies the prospects of housing for all. In a country lacking in basic industries such as machine tools and petroche, the current rate of the naira is a very serious issue.
If we go through a roll call of history, we will see that other na ons have used internal tourism and the possibility of the inflow of hard currency from abroad to ameliorate similar balance of payment crisis and develop their economies.
An o en cited example comes from Mexico where a President in the 1920s brilliantly used Acapulco at the me a mere fishing village no different from Epe, Badagry, Sapele etc, and turned it into a world class tourism spot. He used his brains instead of gallivan ng abroad or working holidays and stuff. He developed Acapulco by bringing in Hollywood stars from California, invi ng La n and Northern Ameri-
ca, and then the royalty from Europe also started to come to Acapulco.
In the twinkle of an eye, Acapulco took off, with commercial companies and hotel chains such as Hilton, Marrio , arc, coming to build five-star hotels, golf courses, marinas, and so forth there. Acapulco took off as a world playground in a big way because the President turned himself into the country’s chief tourism officer, in fact spending at mes more me in Acapulco than in the na on’s capital.
Today, we see what effect that has had on the economy of Mexico. Barring a pandemic like COVID-19, Acapulco delivers roughly about five billion dollars worth of tourism income, some mes a lot more, annually.
We would have thought that given what other countries have done, successive Presidents of Nigeria will learn from this playbook.
We believe that instead of going on working tours to London and Paris with virtually no benefit to the Nigerian economy, a President of Nigeria should be using every opportunity to develop places like Yankari Games Reserve, Obudu Ca le Ranch, Ikogosi Springs in Eki etc, in the same way that Acapulco was developed into a world class tourism resort.
Nigeria even has great advantages: it is an English-speaking country, there’s a huge diaspora, and there’s now an affinity to go to, in quotes, “going back to my roots” by
blacks across the world.
If we aggregate for example the amount of black Americans, black Brazilians, people of African origin in the Caribbean, the market for developing Yankari Games Reserve, Obudu Ca le Ranch etc into world-class eco-tourism des na ons is massive and if properly done and sold could overtake Acapulco and other places like that within a decade.
The issue is why are we not doing so?
And it is par cularly absurd because this is the age of eco-tourism.
It must be remembered that eco-tourism is the fastest growing area of tourism and is now actually the most lucra ve of all arenas in the tourism industry.
The be er educated and those with tourism dollars want to go off the beaten path. They are not fascinated with Paris, London, Madrid etc. They now want to go to eco-lodges in off-the-beaten-path areas. They have much more money to spend than the average tourist, are be er educated, more environmentally inclined, and it is of great and immense benefit to any country that captures the eco-tourism sector. We have to make it very clear that Nigeria cannot and should not, as the largest country in Africa, con nue to encourage a neo-colonial mindset that ought to have been je soned a hundred years ago.
About places like London and Paris, we have passed that stage, and it does not edify a people who fought for independence and supported independence struggles across Africa to now be seem as having a neo-colonial, banana republic-type mindset of fixa ons and fascina ons with Western capitals.
We believe that we should make a new beginning like they did in Mexico and other places.

The President of Nigeria must not only be the country’s Commander-In-Chief but also become it’s chief tourism promoter. He must use our world class tourism poten al to attract the kind of tourism dollars that will now become a permanent and predictable feature of the Nigerian economy.

OSUN State stands at a crossroads, a moment of reflec on and reckoning in its poli cal journey. As elec ons draw nearer and poli cal camps prepare to contest for power, a crucial ques on arises: In the fierce ba le for Osun’s poli cal soul, is there s ll room for intellectuals?
This ques on is not just academic; it strikes at the heart of the quality of governance, policy direc on, and ul mately, the progress of the state.
Osun has long been a hotbed of poli cal ac vity, with vibrant grassroots movements and influen al poli cal elites shaping its trajectory. However, the landscape o en seems dominated by tradional poli cians—those whose campaigns thrive on patronage, personality, and populism rather than well-reasoned policies and intellectual rigor.
In a state rich with universi es, research ins tu ons, and a youthful popula on hungry for innovaon, the marginaliza on of intellectuals in poli cs is a paradox begging urgent redress.
The role of intellectuals in polics goes beyond mere academic debate. Intellectuals bring cri cal thinking, long-term vision, and evidence-based solu ons to governance challenges.
From healthcare and educa on to infrastructure and economic development, though ul policymaking is essen al. Yet, in Osun, poli cal discourse frequently priori zes short-term gains and emo ve appeals over sustainable development strategies.
Several factors contribute to this trend. First, poli cal structures in Osun—like much of Nigeria— tend to favor those with strong financial backing and widespread patronage networks. This environment can discourage intellectuals, who may lack the resources or the poli cal connec ons to compete effec vely.
Second, the poli cal culture some mes views intellectualism with suspicion, associa ng it with eli sm or detachment from “the people.” This percep on undermines the contribu ons that scholars, technocrats, and policy experts can make to public service.
Despite these challenges, there
“As Osun heads into new political cycles, citizens must demand more than empty rhetoric and personality politics. They should call for leaders who combine heart with head—politicians who are not just popular, but capable; not just loud, but knowledgeable”
PERSPECTIVE
By MATT OLU
The Battle For Osun’s Political Soul: Is There Room For Intellectuals?
are bright spots. Some intellectuals have broken through the political glass ceiling, serving as advisers, commissioners, or legislators, injec ng knowledge and professionalism into governance. Their successes highlight that
intellectual engagement is not only possible but necessary for Osun’s development. Furthermore, the rise of social media and digital pla orms has created new spaces for intellectual discourse, enabling thought leaders to reach wider audiences and influence public opinion.
The ques on remains: How can Osun create a poli cal environment that welcomes intellectuals without aliena ng grassroots supporters? The answer lies in fostering inclusive poli cs that values competence alongside charisma, and ideas alongside influence. Poli cal par es and civil society must champion meritocracy, encourage youth par cipa on, and invest in civic educa on to deep-
en the electorate’s apprecia on for knowledge-driven leadership. Moreover, intellectuals themselves need to engage more proacvely with the poli cal process. This involves not only running for office but also mentoring emerging leaders, par cipa ng in policy formula on, and building coalions that bridge divides. When intellectuals speak the language of the people and address pressing local issues, their ideas resonate and gain trac on.
Osun’s future depends on a balanced poli cal soul—one that harmonizes the passion and energy of grassroots ac vism with the wisdom and foresight of intellectual leadership. This balance is cri cal for cra ing policies that upli communi es, strengthen instu ons, and posi on the state as a beacon of progress in Nigeria.
As Osun heads into new polical cycles, ci zens must demand more than empty rhetoric and personality poli cs. They should call for leaders who combine heart with head—poli cians who are not just popular, but capable; not just loud, but knowledgeable. The poli cal soul of Osun can only be saved and strengthened if intellectuals are given genuine space to contribute. It is me for Osun to embrace a poli cs of ideas, where intellectual rigor meets popular engagement. Only then can the state fulfill its immense poten al and write a new chapter in Nigeria’s democra c story.

Rights, Peace And Responsibilities
DURING the Buhari-Idiagbon regime (1983-85), there were reported incidences of people being shot at for as li le as urina ng in public. That was extreme enforcement of the War Against Indiscipline (WAI) by overzealous and triggerhappy soldiers; instance of the reali es of bygone military rule.
With democracy comes freedom. However, democracy is not unlimited, unqualified freedom. If ci zens want to enjoy rights, they must obey the Rule of Law and fulfil their civic du es; if they want peace and unity, they must demand jus ce and equal rights. The democra c deal is that power belongs to the people, and they have the responsibility to hold government that they elect accountable. No poli cian or government from heaven will come to build a paradise country for them for the asking; it can only be the outcome of their collec ve struggles (via all their various organisa ons), which is why it is said that “a people gets the kind of government it deserves.”
Under democracy, personal liber es are suspended in certain small measures in order for the society at large to be free, as government is cons tuted from amongst the people to see to the pursuit of their happiness. Individuals, as ci zens, thereby have huge responsibili es in equal measures as they have rights. It is the failure by majority of Nigerians to properly understand and live up to these responsibili es
and exercise those rights that accounted for individuals and groups taking liberty for licence, in the light of near-absent government, leading to today’s grave threat to democracy, law and order and the corporate existence of the na on.
In the par cular instance of the suffoca ng insecurity that is Nigeria’s present reality, let us take a look. Herders have complained for a long me in the North about ca le rustling, especially by terror groups (who needed food supplies and slaves –kidnapped persons – on their jungle farm, and ransom for funding their armoury). Policing and law enforcement ought to come to their rescue and neutralise the menace. Not being the case, self-help came into play with herders arming themselves with sophis cated weapons. This in turn dangerously impacted the age-old herdersfarmers crises (par cularly in Benue and Plateau), which had always been communally managed somehow without any creave interven on from the state in terms of modernising the ca le rearing profession. Consequently, the order-crime-punishment equa on ended up being poli cised rather than balanced up!
With the State in self-serving slumber, with the ci zens choosing arbitrariness and self-help rather than concerted ac ons to demand accountability from its elected government, and with the ever resourceful terrorist organisa ons seeing a loophole for tac cal manoeuvre (in exploi ng the
armed-herdsmen, herders-farmers imbroglio), they moved in. Again, rather than crea vely assess and respond, the bungling state con nued its drowse and the media (mis)adopted various nomenclatures for a clear, sophis catedly coordinated terrorist and insurgency a ack on the na on: “banditry,” “unknown gunmen,” “suspected herdsmen,” etc.
The majority of Nigerians know the truth: there have been Fulanis in virtually all parts of Yorubaland, and Southern Nigeria, grazing their ca le for decades and whereas it occasions periodic misunderstanding, they have always managed to resolve consequent disputes somehow; same as there are Yoruba and Southerners everywhere in the North doing their businesses and managing to get along with their host communi es. The present crises have nothing to do with these common Fulani, Yoruba and Southern people who have li le problems in peacefully coexis ng. It is the failure of the state, the government and the ruling elite to solve fundamental and clear problems of insecurity that is playing out, straight to the advantage of the terror groups and poli cians that senselessly think poli cising insecurity will gain them poli cal mileage in upcoming elec ons.
The truth is clear enough but the truth and the common people will con nue to remain the casualty of the collapse of law and order, simply because they are, so far, reluctant to clearly understand and accept their social responsibili es and assert their rights under democracy. It is not too late to wake up as a people and do the needful.
