MSSN Lagos State Area Unit Amir (President) Mallam Miftahudeen Thanni, lamented the continuing decline in quality education in Nigeria.

“Undoubtedly, quality education has eluded our great nation. Quality and free education is almost made impossible or is now a tale of the past as various setbacks have been witnessed in the sector over the years. It is an eyesore that the quality of education has totally dropped,” Thanni said.

Chairman of the event, Alhaji Saheed Adedayo Amzat, who doubles as the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Zedcrest Capitals, also advocated quality education in the country.

He said: “Quality Education: Parameters, Drawbacks and Intervention is the theme of this event and I am certain that our experienced resource persons will give us a headway. At this point, we all need to be concerned about the future of our children which largely depends on the type of education they get.”

Representing Permanent Secretary for Ministry of Education, Mr Zaheed Abdul-Azeez, commended MSSN for the competition.

Abdul-Azeez, who is a Director of Curriculum Service, urged youths to be politically active.

He said the government will not relent in providing quality education in the state.
