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 existing.
“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.”
However, Abubakar has also gone on Twitter to say that he was misquoted, adding that ‘Nigerian education gave him everything’.
