During Awosika speech at the 25th edition of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), she said there is a need to declare a state of emergency in Nigeria’s education sector.

Awosika said she recently asked a room full of university students why they chose their course of study and the response she got was that they were studying the courses they were given.

“We need an emergency in the education sector. We can achieve what we want to when we identify where we want to go. We must redefine the education we are delivering to our children,” she said.

In conclusion, Awosika said Nigeria needs to state where it wants to be to compete with top economies across the world.
