According to Guadian Newspaper Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has described graduates of Nigerian
public universities as brainless, saying they cannot communicate in
English with the students of his private secondary school, the American
University of Nigeria (AUN) Academy.
Abubakar, who spoke on Thursday evening in Yola during his birthday
celebration organised by the management of AUN, said public universities
graduates cannot fit into private industries due to their poor
education and character.
“I was in the University of Zik in Akwa in Anambra State on Wednesday
on the invitation of the university. There is no student in public
universities that can speak English in an error-free manner like the
head boy of my secondary, who just finished addressing us now.
“When the head boy of AUN Academy, Abdullahi Sani, started speaking, I
was thinking it is one of the lecturers in AUN, but only for him to
introduce himself as the head boy of AUN Academy,” he stated.
Atiku said his ambition to establish AUN was to ensure that Nigeria
produced graduates of high quality, both in learning and character, at
an affordable rate and avoid the stress of traveling to other countries
in search of quality education.
He pointed out that only quality education could bring about
technology development in any country in the world, not oil, gold or
other mineral resources.
Atiku noted that a country that places emphasis on oil, instead of
manpower development, is preparing to collapse, pointing out that
quality education produces quality manpower that turns a country into a
wealthy nation.
While addressing students of the Law Department, the former vice
president restated that Nigeria would continue to move backward unless
it is restructured to address the problems threatening its
existence.
“When government set up the last constitutional conference, I
sent my proposal to the conference and when the members received it,
they all agree with the content and resolved to include it in their
final report as part of their resolutions.

A cheap way to advertise his school, mean while how many poor people can afford his school?
ReplyIf he is intelligent enough, he wouldn't have said such a thing. I think in his right sense of reasoning, he should ask himself how many poor people or the masses can afford to pay the fee? That means, he is equal to what he said (brainless)
