A 34-year-old Nigerian billionaire, Ibrahim Abubaka Lajada who stays outside the country has declared his intention to participate in the 2019 election, vying the post of president.
According reports from NAIJ.com, Lagada believes he's old enough to contest for the post.
He said: “First, I would strengthen our educational system. Second, I will improve economic growth and fight corruption and lastly, I would make certain that everyone has equal and fair treatment in our society.
“Our education system in Nigeria is not one in which we should be very proud of.
"Yes, Nigeria does have excellent schools, colleges, and learning institutions, but our standards are not set as high as other countries. For example, our country does not fund our schools adequately. Teachers teach with not enough books, no supplies, or books that are often over 30 years old.
"How can we expect our children to be up to date with the world’s information if our teaching materials are not new?
“Often teachers in our public schools are forced to buy text books and supplies for our children with their own personal money. Why do they do this? Because they believe in a good education for all learners.
"Our country "prides" itself on the quality of education a person can receive here, yet teachers are one of the countries lowest paid professionals. Some of our teachers are not well qualified.
