- EDUCATION: Our vision for Education. Without sound Education, there cannot be effective leadership. Without sound Education, there cannot be good health care delivery. Education in Nigeria remains one of the most underdeveloped sectors of this country. Schools are still grounded by strike, the reading culture is being overtaken by social media, and educational excellence has become a rare commodity. Kogi State in particular has seen a major crash in her quality of education in the last few years because of strike and nonpayment of salaries. This is not right. It has to change. We must make a quantum leap in restructuring our educational system from being a mere box for students gathering, to a citadel of learning, value and innovation. That is the sincere promise of Engr. Abdulmalik Mohammed Adama’s leadership. That Kogi State can lead the way in transforming education in Nigeria into a world class model, producing graduates capable of creating an emerging economy that will compete globally.
I will work for it in every step of the way.
