The senior pastor and general overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to revitalize education system and human capital development in Nigeria.
He gave this charge in an exclusive interview with Channels Television on the Easter celebrations.
The clergyman also charged Buhari to ensure he appoints the best hands in order to succeed in his second term of office.
He stated that, “We have neglected the greatest asset of any nation, human capital. Our educational system has gone down the drain; we need to revive all that. Our universities are glorified secondary schools; let us solidify the ones we have. It’s okay to start a university, but let us maintain a standard.
“It is in our interest to ensure that there is a future for our children, ensure good health care delivery, and ensure transportation system that is flawless. There are so many assets in this country and I pray President Buhari would do his best in the second term to appoint the best, brightest and fittest, so we would see Nigeria turn around as we maximise the potentials of the nation.”
Commenting on effect of failing to provide jobs and education Pastor Bakare explained that insecurity is always the outcome.
“Insecurity is not new; we are being invaded from outside and from within. What do you think will happen to millions of jobless youths who have no way of providing themselves? We need to create more jobs.”
