Mallam Adamu Adamu, Nigeria’s Minister of Education, admitted failure in his official duties as he could not tackle the several challenges that drastically affected the educational system in the last few years.
While speaking on Thursday at the 66th National Council on Education (NCE) in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Adamu reflected on the challenges he faced as Education Minister, having occupied the office longer than any other person.
The Minister highlighted that, from out-of-school children, which has increased during his time in office, to challenges of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and other challenges rocking the tertiary education system, he could not provide viable solutions.
Adamu, however, accused the state’s ministries of education of adding to the factors that aided his failure as a Minister.
