Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Latter Rain Assembly has
urged the Nigerian Government to completely overhaul the education system in
the country to produce quality graduates.
Pastor Tunde Bakare made the call on Friday while
speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria at the ongoing Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation’s Annual Goalkeepers meetings in New York, United States.
According to him, the current system has huge
implications on the economic development and life outcomes of young people.
Bakare said, “In the past when you are coming out
from the university, there are regular jobs, car loan and other facilities that
will keep you in the country.

“Right now, because of the lack of jobs, job
creation has become a major issue. Our young people are now taking to crime and
are benefiting from proceeds of crime and kidnapping.
“But with the right policy in place, we can inject
new ideas that will create jobs for our people.
“I trust God that the right leadership will come. I
call them a new breed without greed that will consider others and begin to
create opportunities for us within our countries.
“So, there is something fundamentally wrong with our
education system that is producing semi-illiterates.”
