Pro-Chancellor, Covenant University, Bishop David Oyedepo said the government should invest more in education so that the nation will develop.
Speaking
at the institution’s 5th inaugural lecture on Saturday, Oyedepo also said that the level of education of the citizenry would help to drive nation building and development, PM News reports.
He said: “People need to be educated before they can partner with stakeholders to achieve meaningful development.
“Development will never be a product of political ideology because no political platform will attain meaningful development.”
He also urged Nigerians, in the spirit of the campaign slogan, 'Çhange', to change their approach to issues.
“Nothing will change until our approach to issue change because each Nigerian needs to play a role by taking responsibility.”
The
founder of Living Faith Church a.k.a Winners Chapel advised the Federal
Government to review its investment policy on education.
According to him, there must be huge investment in the sector before any meaningful development can be achieved in the country.
“Every development in all the nations involves heavy investment in education,” he said.
“The strength of a chain is determined by the strength of its weakest link.
“The foundation of a house determines how many storey buildings can be built on it.
“The
nation needs massive investment in education in terms of research to
have sustainable engineering and innovative product development that
will boost infrastructure in all sectors of the economy,” he said.
