On ’55 We Stand

Nigeria’s ills often seem innumerable and insoluble, but have you considered the possibilities of getting things right in just one sector? That sector is education, and we must ask ourselves, which of Nigeria’s challenges would not have been ameliorated if only the first free education programme in Nigeria had been sustained.
“On ‘55 We Stand” highlights the benefits derived from Nigeria’s first free education programme, both then and now. By no means was the much-lauded scheme a nailed-on winner. Actually, it was nearly aborted before commencement day, tagged E-Day. Hence, the political intrigues to bring it to fruition and fan the embers to life, at times, reads like a thriller. The echoes of the scheme still resound today, and it offers the best contextual evidence to revitalise the ailing education sector and address the existential challenges the country faces.
