GO shows Buhari the only way to fix Nigeria
General Overseer of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Dr. David
Oyedepo has given the President crucial advice on the best way to move
the nation forward.
General Overseer of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Dr. David Oyedepo, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to consider fixing the education sector if truly he is committed to rewriting the nation’s history for good.
Oyedepo, in his speech titled ‘Towards the Rescue of a Nation on the Brink of Intellectual Bankruptcy’, said that the development of Nigeria will only be possible if the educational sector in the country is also developed.
The G.O spoke during the weekend at the 11th convocation ceremony of the Covenant University.
He said: “The
massive investment in education is the foundation of great countries
especially Singapore which was also a very poor country about 140 years
ago.
“Is it not noteworthy that the great
scientist, Albert Einstein, was from Israel? And within the last five
years alone, Israel has produced about 180 Nobel Prize winners. This
implies that for us to overcome our challenges as a nation, politics
cannot do it but education,” Oyedepo added.
Meanwhile, the son of the Saturday Editor of Punch Newspapers, Mrs Olabisi Deji-Folutile, Winner, has emerged the overall best student of the university.
The
21-year-old, who scored a total of 4.97 Cumulative Gradient Point
Average (CGPA) to beat a total of 156 other graduates with First Class
degree certificates, thanked God for the feat, and commended his parents
for providing him what he described as quality upbringing and support.
