In a bid to protect Nigeria’s educational sector and by extension, the future development of the country currently being threatened by the mass exodus of Nigerians from all sectors, including education, in what is commonly referred to as “Japa syndrome”, the Federal Government says it is open to partnerships; particularly with the European Union, EU, and America.
Speaking at the maiden edition of Erasmus plus National Information Day in Abuja, the Minister of State for Education, Dr Yusuf Sununu, raised concerns that the future may not be good for Nigeria, as the massive brain drain being witnessed in all sectors of the nation’s economy are creating gaps between the nation’s output and input.
He said that Nigeria has already developed a guideline that was voted on and passed by the Federal Executive Council on the transnational education, and encouraged ambassadors of different countries at the meeting to get hold of the document, utilize it and see how they can work together to ensure that Nigeria continues to produce globally accepted certification that will guarantee the ability to contribute meaningfully to the development of the country.
