Nigeria’s education system is failing its students, and the country cannot afford to keep pretending otherwise, speakers declared at the 20th Anniversary and 5th Memorial Public Lecture for the late Col. G.O. Nebo (Rtd), mni, held at Nebo Hall, Abalti Barracks, Surulere.

Under the theme “Rethinking Nigerian Educational System: The Need for a Paradigm Shift,” the annual lecture became a blunt assessment of what experts say is a broken system, outdated teaching methods, and a national mindset that is holding back millions of young Nigerians.

Dr. Dideolu Adekogbe, Lead Consultant at Florish-Gate Global Consult, told the packed hall that Nigeria’s biggest problem is not just funding or infrastructure, but attitude.
