Politicians weaponise education

COEA provost acts as agent in Nigerian party primaries, exposing the rot within educational institutions.

Politicians weaponise education
FO Take · Score 10

Educational leaders engaging in political thuggery is a damning indictment of Nigeria’s system. When those charged with learning become tools for political manipulation, the future of an entire generation is jeopardised. This isn’t just corruption; it’s an intellectual failing. How can we trust institutions that so brazenly betray their core mission?

The strongest counter

This is an isolated incident, not indicative of systemic failure. Individuals make choices; it doesn't tarnish the entire educational sector. Political involvement can even be a pathway to influence positive change.
