Rightly said Mr. President. Education is the key to growth in value but I wonder if our crude reserves are growing or falling. I cannot know that . That is left for the Geologists to figure out. As per MAFGEJ we have observed with interest the debates in high and low places on whether to reopen schools or not for the fear of Ebola.
“I want to assure Nigerians thatcrude oil is not our ‘Black Gold’.The real ‘Black Gold’ of Nigeria are herpeople and they can grow in value from goldto diamond via education”
Ebola a very microscopic organism has made the high and mighty quiver. Well, you do not want to blame the teachers who want us to wait a few more weeks until they are sure that the coast is clear. They also insist on adequate measures to screen for Ebola. The level of awareness and activism is commendable. Some Private schools like the Solid Base Private School in Enugu (pictured above) HAVE TAKEN THE RIGHT STEPS TO PROCURE INFRA-RED THERMOMETERS AND ENSURE STRICT HAND WASHING REGULATIONS.
Are these measures enough? Can they be replicated in all public schools? Is the money allocated for the fight with Ebola being spent wisely? These thermometers cost about fifteen thousand naira. Can we manufacture this kind of basic equipment in Nigeria? What is the true cost of the Ebola epidemic to the Nigerian economy in terms of lost man-hours and other economic indices? I hope some enlightened MAFGEJ watchers can supply educated guesses to answer these bugging questions.
