The Director General, Mr Idris Tele-Olukoya, told TeslimBlog that Nigeria would develop faster if attention was shifted a bit away from politics.

More attention, he said, should be given to capacity building in education, ICT, skills acquisition and wealth creation among others.

“The driving force for a nation’s development and growth has shifted from natural endowments to knowledge economy.

“Countries without abundant resources have been excelling because of the emphasis on human capital that propels knowledge economy,’’ he argued.

Tele-Olukoya noted that Nigeria had not been serious with her human capacity building because she had not been treating education as a priority sector.

“UNESCO approved that 26 per cent of annual budgets of countries be allocated to the education sector, but Nigeria allocates less than 8 per cent to the sector.

“Nigeria has been spending much on governance while critical infrastructure and education in particular have been treated with levity in national budgets.

“It is estimated that the country’s oil reserves would be exhausted by 2052.

“Nigeria, therefore needs to key into the New Economy by...

Nearly four years after failing, by a small margin, in his bid to govern Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has overcome the biggest obstacle to his dream.

On Saturday, he achieved a hard-fought victory over the state’s incumbent Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state’s governorship election.

Senator Adeleke, 62, riding on the back of a campaign aimed at developing the state and retrieving what he says is his stolen mandate, secured 403,371 votes, 28,344 more than his closest rival, the incumbent governor. Governor Oyetola polled 375,027 votes.
