Education Minister Tahir Mamman spoke during the maiden quarterly citizens and stakeholders’ engagement in Nigeria’s education sector in Abuja on Tuesday.
The minister assured Nigerians that there would transformation in the education sector with the unveiling of 13 pillars roadmap.
He said for proper planning to be done in the sector, particularly from a basic level, it has become imperative to build a reliable and authentic database that would promote skills acquisition and development and reduce to the nearest minimum, the number of out-of-school children.
Earlier in January, the minister had said security agents would go after Nigerians with fake certificates from foreign countries already using them to secure opportunities in the country.
Mamman had described such individuals as criminals and not victims. “I have no sympathy for such people. Instead, they are part of the criminal chain that should be arrested,” the minister had said.
The minister had also said the Federal Government would suspend degree certificates from more countries like Uganda, Kenya and the Niger Republic.
“We are not going to stop at just Benin and Togo. We are going to extend the dragnet to countries like Uganda, Kenya, even Niger here where such institutions have been set up,” he had said.
