The former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, has reiterated that education remains critical to the resolution of the many problems facing the country.
Obi spoke Monday after a breakfast meeting with the Chief Executive of the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council, Rosie Glazebrook in Lagos.
Obi who recalled the transforming trend education is bringing in several parts of the world, stressing that it remains the only enduring legacy by which the future generations would compete with their peers all over the world.
He said that if our leaders understood as much, ASUU would not be on strike.
It would be recalled that as the governor of Anambra State, Obi moved Anambra from 26th position in external examinations to number one among other states in Nigeria.
It was after the spectacular improvement that the World Bank commissioned Prof. Paul Collier to study what Anambra State did on education, which they widely published and encouraged other countries to emulate.
