The Big Confusion on Governance
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on July 4, 2019, 9:47 AMAs citizens take up more responsibilities which governments are expected to provide, Kalu Ndukwe argues that a generation of Nigerian students may be confused on what the teachers teach on the roles of governments:
“But finding it hard to reconcile what the teacher says in school about governance and what is seen every day, these kids painfully live day by day in the reality that security is provided by family and the vigilante of the community, that parents provide water and light, that, if there were no private schools, he/she would prefer to stay at home, and be taught by family members, than go and waste talent in public schools.”
