At the 4th Founder’s Day Celebration of the University of Delta (UNIDEL), Agbor, my lecture on ‘Nation Building: The Search for a Nigeria That Works for All’ also touched on the vital role of education in national development. Unlocking Nigeria’s full potential requires substantial investment in education and research, ensuring equitable access to quality learning for all. All levels of government must collaborate to drastically reduce the number of out-of-school children, as education remains a fundamental driver of progress and social transformation. A crucial priority is shaping students into informed, patriotic citizens who understand both Nigeria and the global landscape. The curriculum must emphasize civic education, national consciousness, and entrepreneurial training to build a productive and innovative economy. Graduates should be globally competitive, proficient in information technology, and actively engaged in emerging global discussions, particularly in Artificial Intelligence. A strong research culture is essential, with scientific advancements closely linked to industry. To support this, the university should explore innovative funding strategies, including allocating a portion of internally generated revenue to research. Furthermore, UNIDEL should establish a consultancy unit in key fields such as engineering, environmental science, agriculture, and accounting to generate revenue and contribute to industry growth. Strengthening the “Town and Gown” relationship is also crucial, leveraging community partnerships for mutual benefit. By focusing on these strategic priorities, the University of Delta can solidify its position as a leader in higher education, making a lasting impact on its students, the economy, and the broader national development agenda.
