The President of African Development Bank, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, says Nigeria needs proper financing of its education sector.
Adesina said this over the weekend at the maiden ‘2020 Prize Presentation Ceremony and Graduation of 53 Leadership Ambassadors’ organised by the Nigerian Prize for Leadership.’
The AfDB president said, “Leaders are change agents for good governance. For the Nigeria we hope for, we must prepare and build a leadership pipeline that will translate to effective management of human capital.
“It is important for leaders to listen to public opinions. Those who give up easily in the face of criticism are not leaders. Leaders always have clear visions and keep visions simple.
“There is, therefore, urgent need for a massive rebirth and proper financing of a new education system for a new Nigeria as well as full transparency of governance system.”
