How population growth cripples Nigeria’s education sector – Biu old boys

The Old Boys Association of Biu Community Secondary School has blamed Nigeria’s indiscriminate population growth for the poor funding of the country’s education sector.

Rising from a one-day second Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Gombe, the old boys said the sporadic increase in the country’s population required the government’s improved and sustained funding to ensure delivery of qualitative education in public schools.

Speaking during the meeting, the former Principal of the school, Malam Mukhtar Bura, said due to population explosion, the government is not providing enough and required resources to the public schools.

“The population increase has an effect on funding, that left us with poorly funded schools with inadequate classrooms and other teaching aids to effectively teach in those schools,” he lamented.

On his part, Emir of Akko, Alhaji Ahmad Muhammad Atiku, urged stakeholders in the education sector to ensure good morals in their students, by being exemplary in good character.

Also speaking, the Director General of the Nigerian Textile Manufacturers Association (NTMA), Alhaji Hamma Kwajaffa, said the main essence of the meeting was for the old students to come together and develop the school.

He called on some old boys including former Governor of Borno State, Senator Kashim Shettima, GMD of NNPC Ltd, Malam Mele Kolo Kyari, Alhaji Ahmed Kuru among others, to join hands with Emirs of Biu and Akko, patrons of the school, in revitalising the school to its former enviable position.

Kwajaffa added that the old boys’ association is capable of turning around the fortunes of the school to a modern standard, in order to ease teaching and learning activities among teachers and students alike.
