Former Governor Peter Obi has called on governments at all levels to see investment in education as a veritable tool to fight poverty, insecurity and other societal ills in the Nigerian society.
Obi made this remark in his message to mark the International Day of Education. He said the government should to treat financial commitment to education as investment and not an expense. He said that the more government invests in education, the better the economic growth and development the society enjoys.
With investment in education, Obi said insecurity and poverty would reduce, describing education as the most important tool for the socio-economic, political, scientific and technological advancement of any society.
Obi also advised Nigerian students to take their education seriously as it is capital that will lead them to greater heights in life.
