Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has come out to urge youths to acquire knowledge while they still can.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the youths should strive to keep learning, but not with the aim of getting government jobs as there are no jobs in government anymore.

He also begged young Nigerians to acquaint themselves with history to avoid making the same mistakes of the past.

His words, “We should ensure the children get proper education. The knowledge they acquire should not be towards getting government jobs.”

“We don’t have jobs in government anymore. With technology, governments are becoming smaller, nimble and efficient.”

“Emphasis should now be on skills acquisition and competence in creation and deployment of technology. During the COVID-19, we asked all level 12 downwards to stay at home, and surprisingly, the systems worked effectively.”

“Whoever does not have a good sense of history will easily make mistakes.”
