I don’t think we need to go on strike to be able to achieve the objectives of public education. That should not happen in a country like Nigeria with all its natural and human possession. All over the world, two sectors always enjoy priority because they affect other sectors, and that is education and health sector. Perhaps, it was because we are glued to this lip service to education and that is what has led to destruction of public education in Nigeria. As a neo-colonial capitalist economy dominated by imperialism, capitalism in Nigeria has no need for a highly educated populace.
