The present Buhari Administration promised us
"change" during their 2015 campaign.
Judging from the dictionary meaning of the word, one would have no choice but to agree with
Minister Lai Muhammad that this administration is hereby living up to all her
promises. Starting from changing the price of tomatoes, to changing the state of our economy, up to
the recent change in our education.
Education in Nigeria is one industry that has collided with
change more times than we can remember, since its inception. Whenever members of the older generation
starts reminiscing about the good old days,
I tend to ask a million questions before I get to understand phrases
like "... back then in standard one. " or "... before I entered
class four". Even younger members
of our society as well succeeds in putting me into confusion nowadays with
words like " basic science " and all what not. I look around our educational system, and tend not to see a system that gives hope
for a better tomorrow, but a system that says "change is constant, even when Buhari is not President".
