“Go and look at the WAEC results and it will tell you that we have the best learning outcomes in this country last year. The last eight years, the best results were the 2022 results but I don’t blame people who make that conjecture that things are bad because around the world countries that have increased enrolment always suffer.”
The government is keen on its effort in transforming the education sector, through the provision of a quality learning environment.
