By Olufemi Alfred .O.      Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world - Nelson Mandela      How can we breakthrough as a country if the tool that can be used is in comatose state?

This is not because of it's every day effects on all sectors but because it yields an everlasting dividends.      It no longer rings any bell, knowing fully well that the highest Nigeria has achieved ever is 10.43% in 2006. Even the minute allocations are not judiciously spent. Little wonder why the Nigerian Universities Commission(NUC) budgeted 85 m...
