Dennis Okoro, a director in in MTN Foundation and a former Director in the Ministry of Education recently launched his first book titled ‘Education in Nigeria: Perspectives for a changing world.’ The book is an analysis of the current education system in Nigeria.
It highlights the grey areas in the country’s education system. Written with constructive criticisms, comments, suggestions and data to help make Nigeria more poised to transform its current education system, at the same time accommodate a very complex and uncertain future.
According to the octogenarian, the inspiration to write the book came as a result of his conversation with an expatriate. The conversation took place while he was attending the Argungu fishing festival a few years ago.
He was encouraged by an expatriate to document his experiences and ideas on the Nigerian educational system. When COVID-19 pandemic hit the world and the nation was on lockdown, he had a perfect opportunity to put his thoughts together and write the book.
