  • Under funding of education promotes mediocrity—Prof. Olagoke

     

    Download 2 21The founder, spiritual head, and grand imam of Shafaudeen in Islam Worldwide, Prof. Sabitu Olagoke, has identified the underfunding of education as the catalyst of the multifarious challenges impeding the development of Nigeria.

    Prof. Olagoke made this known on Saturday at the 2025 Shafaudeen International Children's Day: Kiddies Sports and Inter School Novelty Race in Ibadan, Nigeria.

    ''The recent underfunding of less than 10 percent annually is highly inadequate to promote functional education. To this effect, mediocrity is promoted to breed vandalism, insecurity, quackery, fraud, sharp practices, corruption, poor governance, poverty, diseases, hunger, etc.''

    He warned that good leaders could only be groomed through governance and empathy rather than sympathy, adding, The environment you give birth to your children in matters a lot. Let us go back home and put things in order. Parents on child rearing for the society would be easy when the hostile environment of Nigeria is tamed, cultured, and cured.''

    In another development, a retired head of Local Government Administration (HLA), Alhaji Nurudeen Azeez, was among those given awards for their exceptional deeds.

    In his brief remarks, Alhaji Azeez expressed delight on receiving the award, saying, ''I feel elated and fulfilled. I need to give thanks to the Almighty Allah and our indefatigable leader, Prof. Sabitu Olagoke, for finding me worthy to be so honored.''

    Parents and guardians in Nigeria have been advised to expose their children and wards to very good upbringing to aid their positive development.

    This advice was given on Thursday by Dr. Tunde Awosanmi at the maiden edition of an event tagged Nations Rhythm Festival at the Alliance Francaise center, Ibadan, Nigeria.

    ''Only parents who are wise will bring up their children very well. Your parents should give you a good experience for your development. Parents and guardians must bring up their children in the way of culture, in this lost world'', Dr. Awosanmi satd.

    In his remarks, the founder and artistic director, Mr. Olalekan Adedokun explained that the festival was organized to teach all that is, to learn about drums. Mr. Adedokun maintained that drums were also relevant in assuaging health conditions, while also stressing that they were a tool that created joy and happiness.''

    Impacting Positively on the Younger Generation

    Parents and guardians in Olorunsogo, Molete, Molusi, Onafuwa Solanke, Oyegbami , oshodi, Scout camp, Aluko, Felele and several other communities in Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria now openly identify with their children who are deeply involved in immorality, lawlessness and criminalty. This unfortunate development paints the major purpose of education in a very bad light and suggests that the leadership at all levels are leading by example. Interestingly, Those-in-charge have failed to impact positively on the lives of the younger generation.
