The Rise Of Buhari’s Political Rigidity To Debauch Nigeria’s Educational System -By Mohammed Adam

It’s very lamentable that Nigeria’s Educational System is inescapably moving towards its finality. The level at which Buhari manifests his indifference to Educational System shows how educationally insufficient he is. His total disregard to Nigeria’s Educational System underlines that it’s either Buhari has ill-will against the people of Nigeria or dissimulates to undermine the future of the greatest Nigerian Students especially those in the Higher Institutions of Learning. The recently suspended nine months old strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities appeared to be the longest ever in the history of Nigeria. It didn’t last so long because of Covid-19 Pandemic which has brought a paradigm shift in the world and in Nigeria. It lasted only for nine months because of Buhari’s disdainful attitudes and hostility towards Nigerians.

This accentuates that Buhari did not map out to resuscitate this country as his supporters were deceptively spreading his posters and fake caricature during campaign to delude those who usually find it hard to read and write. He invariably goes on in synonymous direction with the enemies of Nigeria to eulogize him for the worst he has been doing to obliterate Nigeria and anything pinnacle about it. His usual condemnation and expression of shocks when obnoxious things happen in Nigeria does not mean that he is not ecstatic because of the lost of lives of people and properties but because of the failed targeted number of the people that narrowly extricate from his trap. The neglect and desecration of our Educational Sector by president Buhari has plainly expounded our tireless criticism to Buhari and that we absolutely have nothing personal against him. We are doing what we think would only cajole and pressurize him into accepting that he failed woefully.

The time frame in which both concerned Nigerians and students who have been waiting interminably to see how Nigerian government will seriously and actively respond to Nigerian Students in a way that will infuse confidence in them about the processes and efforts put forward by the government to adequately address what they did about Nigeria’s Educational System and what they will be doing to come up with an idea that will deal with factors militating against the improvement of our Educational Sector so that Nigeria’s Educational System would qualitatively compete with any country’s Educational System in the world, is simply enough to overhaul the entire Nigeria’s Educational System.

If Buhari had respect for Educational Sector and public opinion in the event that Nigerian University Students are still languishing at home doing nothing despite the suspension of ASUU strike, when none of his children ever undergoes Degree program in Nigeria, he couldn’t have used Covid419 under a pretext reason to truncate the future of the Nigerian Students. Nigerian Students must resist this political move to bring an end to this happenings. Nigerian Students must also bring the attention of the Federal Government of Nigeria under president Major General Buhari on how his government uses Covid-19 business to vitiate their future. Nigerian Students must by all means tell Buhari and those that caged him to listen and hurriedly quash the use of the second phase of Covid-19 to stop them from going back to school. Nigerian Students must at the speed of light approach this government and remind them that they should be peacefully allowed to resume or they should see what they are capable of, and if they start their own games, this country would be too small to contain both of them.
