Education crisis demands leadership, investment, not policy changes – Obi

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), argues that Nigeria's education crisis requires sustained investment, strong leadership, and improved infrastructure rather than merely changing policies. He highlights the failure of the current policy separating junior and senior secondary schools, citing poor performance in recent West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE). Obi criticizes the federal government for allocating less than 6% of the 2026 budget to education, well below UNESCO's recommended 15–20%. He points out that underfunding has prevented Nigeria from supporting students in international STEM competitions and contrasts this with the government's ability to fund foreign conferences. Obi references his tenure as Anambra State governor, during which significant investments in education led to improved outcomes, including large-scale laptop acquisitions recognized by HP Africa.
