Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State has advocated the taking over of primary education from the Local Government Councils by the Federal Government in order to achieve the desired results.
Similarly, the Government suggested the possible running of tertiary institution by private sector to get desired results.
Governor Ahmed made the suggestions today in Abuja while participating in a discussion of Northern region at twenty-first Nigerian Economic Summit organized by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group and the National Planning Commission.
Governor Ahmed explained that the foundational level of education should not be left in the hands of local government authorities, pointing out that the cost of running primary education is beyond the local government in view of the dwindling allocation.
The governor emphasised the need for the prioritisation of intermediate vocational studies to properly equip the youths to meet manpower requirements for industries.
Governor Ahmed urged other governors in the north-central to exploit huge opportunities in the region to drive youths into getting productive ventures.
