The future of Nigeria will be determined by how much governments at all levels as well as individuals focus on building technical skills in an evolving digital age. This was the view of the Chairman/Editor-in-Chief of THISDAY Group/ARISE News, Chief Nduka Obaigbena,http://www.myfishcasting.com/settings.php?647-landsholdstrojer/667-graekenland, during a speech delivered at the second Gamaliel and Susan Onosode Foundation (GAMSU) lecture held in Lagos, wednesday. Speaking on the theme: The Nigerian Child and the Future of Nigeria, and with an unpleasant statistics that shows Nigeria as the country with the highest mortality rates and out-of-school children, Obaigbena noted that the structure of the country has to change for progress to happen. Obaigbena, who is also the President of the Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigeria (NPAN), added: When the structure has a problem, there s little else you can do. And that structure perhaps begins with the structure of the federation and that of our educational system. Education is what helps nurture our future and our children.
Right now, all we are bothered about is academics. We don t have skills. So, until we begin to alter the structure of our education to produce the skills and manpower needed for building the nation, we will not go very far. That means we have to encourage technical education, and we have to seek other means in the new world to engage our children. My intervention today should be limited to three areas: skills,http://www.hemsedalturbusser.no/loader.asp?produkter/kjegler/, skills, and more skills. However, Obaigbena noted that changing individual values should not be the most important thing on the country s agenda at the moment. According to him: Every four years we have the opportunity to change our government, and this time, after threatening for many years, we have actually done it. So,http://www.ytutanflamenca.com/wp-rdf.php?france-c-5_18.html, we have a chance of new actors, new styles, and new narratives. But for a country that consumes what we do not produce, we have a major issue.
The great opportunity we have is that the world is also changing, and most nations are also confronted by the crises of employment and skills of an industrial age. As we transform into a digital age, are we building the skills for that age? Can we leapfrog to that new world? Can we imbibe build in our children the skills for that new age? I believe that is the key to the future: building skills through education, reforming education with structural learning; that is how we can begin to compete,http://www.ytutanflamenca.com/wp-searches.php?stores/realmadrid/fr/c/adidas/enfant-entra%25C3%25AEnement-, so that we don t end up being a consuming nation,http://www.djjenjones.com/wp-walker.php?20152016-manchester-city-etusivu-jalkapallopaitoja-p-561.html, an exporter of jobs, and an exporter of migrants who cross the desert,http://www.optionbstudio.com/search.php?633-Copa-America-2015-Fodboldtr%25C3%25B8jer/641-Mexico-Fodboldtr%25C3%25B8jer, enter boats and die,http://www.faz-transports.com/wp-title.php?content/17-contact, because they want to go and serve in Europe. We can put our house in order. The lecture s keynote speech was delivered by Professor of Virology, Oyewale Tomori,http://www.vincinibottier.com/wp-image.php?catalog/product/Arizona_Cardinals_Majestic_Womens_Plus_Size_Go_For_Two_IV_V-Neck_T-Shirt_%25E2%2580%2593_Cardinal, who lamented the country s aversion to excellence,http://www.ytutanflamenca.com/wp-styles.php?produits/9438-chaussures-tiempo-legend-v-fg-2015-2016-nike, culture of subtle and bare-faced corruption, which has led to a drastic loss of values. If Nigeria is poor, Tomori said, it is not from lack of resources, it is from misuse of the resource we have. We need a leader who will create an institution of probity, decency, honesty and godliness.
The professor went on to note that the transformation of Nigeria should begin with the transformation of the individual. Unless I buy into the transformation, unless you also buy into it, there is no change in the horizon for us. Reiterating the professor s position, motivational speaker and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Gemstone Group, Fela Durotoye, highlighted the importance of values in changing the country s status quo for the better. You can know a people s values by the decisions they take.
The options that are available to us don t change because of our values, but the decisions we make in the face of those options are the first areas that you ll see. So, your values will influence your decision, your words and your actions, and overtime it will influence your habits,http://www.foto-gerd.de/wp-atom.php?premier-league-tottenham-hotspur-trikots-c-11_125.html, and become your lifestyle, he said. Launched in May 2013 and the brainchild of accomplished corporate executive, Mr. Gamaliel Onosode and his wife Susan, GAMSU is a not-for profit and non-political organisation established to foster the success of children through innovative,http://brandbookcloud.com/settings.php?atletico-madrid-31571, flexible learning opportunities while providing the enabling environment.
The foundation s activities,http://brandbookcloud.com/cron.php?fodtoj/predator/predator-instinct-fg-stovler-hvid-rod, among others, include promoting educational development through various initiatives in partnership with identified educational institutions, and facilitating development through scholarships and other financial aids to educational causes. The lecture, apparently, was another of its contribution to improving the quality of education in the country.相关的主题文章：
