‘I’ve failed’ – Buhari’s minister admits failure in office

Nigeria’s minister of education, Mallam Adamu Adamu has admitted that he failed in his office as he could not solve several issues during his tenure.

Adamu is the longest-serving minister of education and witnessed one of the longest industrial actions embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

ASUU was on strike for eight months between February 14 and October 14, 2022.

The Minister highlighted that, from out-of-school children which have increased during his time in office to challenges of ASUU and other challenges bedeviling the tertiary education system, he could not provide the needed solution, according to The Sun.

The Minister who spoke at the 66th National Council on Education (NCE) in Abuja on Thursday, also accused the state’s ministry of education of adding to the factors that aided his failure as a minister.
