In a recent public lecture, Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah has criticized Nigeria’s education system for failing to foster innovation among graduates. He emphasized the need for experiential learning, which connects education to real-world challenges, claiming it’s essential for economic growth.
The governor stated this while delivering the 1st Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) Distinguished Personalities Lecture Series titled “Experiential Learning: Building the Wealth of the Nation” on Tuesday in Enugu.
Governor Mbah announced a policy mandating state-owned universities to adopt this approach, aiming to transform students into active problem-solvers.
He highlighted that nations investing in quality education lead in global rankings, urging a shift from rote learning to practical skills development to combat underdevelopment in Nigeria.
