The President-General of the Unity Schools Old Students Association, Lawrence Wilbert, represented by the Vice President of USOSA and President of Federal Government College, Jos, Old Boys Association, Michael Magaji, observed that the federal and state governments could not fund education alone.
He also highlighted the need for individuals and alumni associations to contribute to the development of education in Nigeria.
Magaji said, “One of the best ways to revive education in Nigeria is through alumni. It is clear to us that the federal and state governments cannot fund education alone. By being part of the alumni, you can contribute to the development of Nigeria.
“It was tax payers money that was used to train us, so we need to invest and pay back. Those who are in the diaspora needs to come back and contribute. So more than ever before, Nigeria needs people like you who have gone through that unification and integration process to make a difference”. (Punch)
